Hi,
I am OLD, I'm 66 years young [I like to say it that way] I do like to rid my pocket of spare change when I can. However, I have a Jar full of Penny's that I use for Holloween night...the kids love pulling out a hand full of penny's & their parents like it too, it's safer than candy these days.
I'm glad I did not skip Math class back in the 50's because today it does come in handy. Here is a Test:
Why did the Clerk Ring up the order of $5.66...for $6 dollars <_<
Total came to $5.66
Gave the clerk $6.16

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:
