One day when I was about 8, my mom gave me one of those cheese & crackers snacks and I went to the corner store to get a comic book. I walked inside munching on the snack, and in front of the comic book stand the proprietor grabbed me, accused me of shoplifting, chewed me out, and called my mom. Who told him that she had given me the snack at home ten minutes earlier.
The proprietor let me go, rudely chasing me out of the store. He never apologized for grabbing me, yelling a me, humiliating me in front of a bunch of neighbors.
I did nothing wrong, and was punished. And I remember it 40+ years later. Mike steals, changes his mind, and gets rewarded. Nice to live in a fairy tale world.
