True story.
The other day, at the dollar store, I bought 5 items. ($5.00 + 6% sales tax = $5.30)
I handed the girl a $20 bill, a quarter, and a nickel.
She said, 'Sir, you gave me too much money. Your total was only $5.30 .
I politely explained to her,(or TRIED to), that I was just trying to make it easier for her, and THIS way she only had to give me a an even $15 in change. She looked at me like I was from Mars, so I said,
"Okay, give me back the quarter and the nickel." After she returned the $.30 to me, I said,
"Okay, I just gave you $20. Isn't THAT too much money too ?"
Again, she just looked at me like I was from Mars, typed $20 into the cash register, and counted out $14.70, like the register told her.
She was really pretty, so at least she has THAT going for her !
