So I was at the coffee shop that has that bird on the building. I got a coffee and a muffin. $2.96. The girl behind the counter mumbles, “I’m two cents short”, and hands me 2 pennies change for my $3. Hunh? The bird owes me 4 cents and she offers me two and tells me she has no more. Was she out of nickels too? I didn’t bother asking, I just left. Y’know the guy behind me in line would have thought I was just being a jerk and it’s not like I really need the 2 pennies, but come on. If you can’t make change, take the penny away from the till, not from me. It’s not really about the 2 pennies, but isn’t this stealing? Man, how do I even explain this to someone who had a debit card before she ever owned a penny?
Maybe I’ll make my own coffee tomorrow morning.
