Quick run into the drugstore and my purchase is $20.02. I hand the young lady $21.00 and she says, I’ll get the two cents from my penny jar….. NO! Before I realize it I sound like I am barking at the poor girl and she looks startled. I want my .98 cents change please, I say trying not to sound like I’m a complete loon……. It may be time for professional help….
But when you got your change, did you examine it as you walked away, forgetting the stuff you actually bought?
I tell the clerk to give the paper money to my wife and the change to me. Usually get a stare. But any coins added to my collection will come from change.
This is me everyday. Most of the clerks know me by face now. But every once in a while I have to be blunt, and tell them to make correct change.
When I was a cashier nothing annoyed me more when the total was $19.99 and the customer would hand me a $20 then rummage in their purse or pockets for 99 cents. Kept running out of bills this way.
