I went to Lowes a few days back and returned something on the way in. It
was 9.64 total. She opens the drawer and says she got no change. She
calls someplace. Wait, wait, wait. Calls again, wait, someone shows. Says
to her what do you want. She says change. He tells her he will have to
get the safe opened to get it. Line grows....and grows.
So I says to her you got a 10 dollar bill. She says yes. I says gimme
that and I'll give you 36 cents. She says she can't do that because the
register won't come out right later. I'm like huh? WTF.
