I went to a burrito joint yesterday and gave homeboy $15 to cover $12.50 in food. The coins came sliding down in the little coin machine and then he turned around & took off into the kitchen.
I stood there and waited, when he came back and I said "You never gave me my change". He looked at me like a kid who just got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and said "Oh how much, $2? I said "Yes", and he said OK, give me a minute. He then rang up a couple people and took off back to the kitchen. He came back out and I said "My change?", he said "Are you sure I didn't give to you". I just looked at him as he gave me my $2.

Interesting he forgot to give me my change, but knew exactly how much he owed me.
Interesting that he could see I was preoccupied with chasing the boy around the joint.
Interesting that because of what happened yesterday I just cheeked the change I got from the gas station. Should have been $.65, she gave me a nickel, dime and 2 pennies. How do you mess that one up on accident? You don't.

I bet allot of people don't check the change they get most of the time.
I wonder how many people out there are supplementing their income by the way of the minimum wage change hustle?
