This is how I understand it works. Everything in the universe is energy. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.

So any action involves using energy. When you use energy it has to be balanced somehow by expending it. In the above scenario, the cashier and the customer has used some energy and it will be balanced somehow by the law of karma....and it also depends on the type of energy used - positive or negative.

My 2 cents...
If that were the case, how would you explain the following hypothetical situation...

Two nations are at war with each others... each of the opposing factions are absolutely certain of the validity of their cause... each are willing to kill or die for that cause...

Now, whose side will that karma be on...??? There are no absolute right or wrong here... yet a lot of hurtful actions will be done... in that case, who gets the shaft...???
