Oh, gosh...I LOVE to fu** with cashiers to manipulate change so I can get
quarters back. I get the dumbest looks..they try to give me back the
"extra" and I smugly say..."no, it's right...figure it out". Amid sighing
and sarcastic cash register button punching....I usually quietly comment
what the change will be, they look at me like I have two heads and then when
voila, the register says the same thing...some of them don't know where to
put themselves.

Maybe when you first gave her your "measurements" she didn't realize
you were talking about glass.

Tell her you need a piece of 15" thick glass, 3 1/8" by 1/4".
