Yeah, I know. Some years ago I was goin g through a fats food drive
through and the young toots in the window wailed "My cash register
doesn't tell me how much change to give you."
So, I proceeded to hold and impromptu school session and taught her how
to count change back.
She seemed amazed at how easy it was and asked "How's you know that?"
"Sweetheart, I learned that in second grade." I smiled.
If I ever open another business - doubtful at my advanced years but,
then, the only certain things are death and taxes - I'll set up my
ca$h drawer without pennies, rounding to the nearest nickel. And no
dollar bills - dollar cins instead. And U$2 bills where the ones used
to was. And half dollar coins. And all of the clerks will *have* to
know how to make change. Bv)=
One of my restaurant/diner/cafe owner friends it considering just such
a move and has discussed with his bank stocking the "funny money" so
he'll be covered when he makes a "change run" to the bank.
This was <$2 per serving when I first made it. Now you'd have to find a
good sale on pork. But, it's good even at a bit stiffer price point.
