A week ago I went to Royal Farm, picked up some snacks. Stood in line with only lane open that automatic thing. I hate them and my face must have showed my distress. A living cashier waved me over. She said “I can take you here if you have exact change.”
Which I had lots of cash on my person so she rung me up. Total was $11.97. I pulled out a ten and two ones.
“Do you have nintey seven cents?” she asked.
Well who the hell is carrying around ninety seven cents or more, who wants to sit and count all that out? I told her to take my dollar and keep the three cents change.
She had to call a manager, yada, yada. They told me I must use exact change next time.
A week later I go to grocery store. Lady tells me I need exact change. I had some coins in my purse this time so I tell her I got it. Total is $85.30.
I get out four twenties, a five and a quarter. I fish around in my pocketbook and can’t find a damn nickel.
I tell her I don’t have a nickel and she says she can’t have her register with not enough money. I look to my grocery cart and ask if everything has to be put back.
This was all serious folks. Thought maybe they’d be calling the cops.
Fortunately lady behind me gives me a nickel.
I gave her a five dollar bill for thanks but you can’t make it up.
I now have a change purse FILLED WITH QUARTERS, NICKELS AND DIMES.
Country going to hell in a handbasket.
Went to pickup s burger and paid the entire bill in change.
