shopping cart and put several cosmetic items into the cart. She went to
the checkout stand and paid for all the items but one lipstick, which
remained in the shopping cart. The manager noticed the lipstick in the
cart and followed the female to her car. As the manager approached the
female, she was picking the lipstick up from the cart. When the manager

I didn’t think much about my answer but maybe you could use these as ideas for your Anders
