1. $13.48 at 3:14 pm
2. $1.01 – whenever I see 101 I think of Neo in The Matrix, whose room number, before he was plucked out of the Matrix, was 101, obviously foreshadowing his being ‘The One’; his name also anagrammatically signifies his One-ness- Neo/ One. This $1.01 total appeared at 3:21 pm, after the customer paid for the food items with her Ebt food stamps card. The $1.01 remaining cost was for something her card did not cover- because it was not food. While I waited for her to fish out $1.01 from her purse, I looked out the big window facing the parking lot, Route One and the woods beyond. Right at that moment, Neo and The Matrix on my mind, a truck slowly passed in front of the Starbucks at the end of the parking lot. The truck’s cargo carrier read the following: 1-800-Go Smith. Smith, of course, is the name of Neo’s machine program nemesis in The Matrix.
