Recently at a convenience store I bought a small item with a five dollar bill. As the young cashier gave me my change, I kept my hand out as she put the coins and ones into it. Instead of stopping at the four ones, because my hand was still out she kept putting ones into it. I guess she was unsure of her math. After she put eight ones into my hand I stopped her, gave her the extras and told her she had given me too many. Reminded me of the old joke of asking for two tens for a five. Keep repeating until rich. I think its possible to do with the uneducated dolts working these days.

1 more. I frequently hand over "too much" money when I pay. Example if the bill is $17, I may give the person $22 (a twenty and 2 ones) so I can get a five back. Some of them will actually give the two ones back and tell me I gave them too much money. I used to explain it, now I say, enter it in the computer and see what happens. Then I get an oh, you get a five back.
