Quote:I couldn't help but chuckle about this, but on reflection it makes me feel like a geezer. I walked to the local convenience store to get pop and junk food, and the total came to $5.66. I didn't have exact change, so I gave the guy $6.16. He looked at me with a totally blank stare, rung up the order for $6 dollars, looked back at the pile of change, and said "What did you want me to do with this?" Then we had to take some time figuring out how much change I was due back.
Please tell me I'm not the only person who still "gets rid of" nickels and pennies to save a quarter. :blink:
I think this is less a sign of aging and more a sign of moronic sales clerks.
