Hamm refuses to return extra change to grocery store
Satire
Save and Go Supermarket on Hennesey Boulevard in Worcester, MA recently sent a letter asking American Gold Medal gymnast Paul Hamm to give up the extra $5 in change he received from a purchase of a banana and a cup of yogurt.
Said former cashier Katie Masterson, "[Hamm] just walked away from the checkout" without questioning the extra five dollars in change he received.
According to store records, Masterson was demoted to bagger shortly thereafter, after it was proven that her register had been short for the third time in a month.
"[Hamm] paid with a five, and gets more than that back, that's just not right," said store manager Russell Wilborne. "We have taken steps that will hopefully get that five dollars back in this store, where it belongs."
Sources close to Hamm allege that Hamm has no intention of returning the $5 to the store. "That was well over a year ago, and besides the Save and Go let [Hamm] walk away with the money."
Save and Go Supermarket plans to ask the International Olympic Committee and the US Olympic Committee to step in.
