 I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS MEMORY POPPED INTO MY HEAD BUT I REMEMBER FEELING LIKE THAT'S WHAT SHE GETS FOR DOING THAT...WAY BACK WHEN I WAS WORKING AT  A MOVIE THEATER CONCESSIONS THIS LADY CAME UP TO MY COUNTER AND WANTED A SMALL POPCORN. I ALWAYS WORKED FAST TO GET PEOPLE THEIR STUFF AND MOVE ONTO THE NEXT PERSON IN LINE TO MAKE SURE THEY GOT INTO THEIR MOVIES ON TIME...WELL, THIS LADY DECIDES SHE WANTS TO GET RID OF A WHOLE  BUNCH OF PENNIES. I TOLD HER WE DON'T USE PENNIES. EVERYTHING WE SOLD WAS EITHER DOLLARS OR QUARTERS. SHE MADE A BIG FUSS THAT PENNIES ARE MONEY AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT. I AM SURE OTHER PLACES OF BUSINESS WOULD HAVE APPRECIATED THE CHANGE THAT ACTUALLY USE PENNIES BUT NO SHE HAS TO TRY TO GET RID OF THEM SOMEPLACE THAT DOESN'T WANT THEM. THAT WAS THE TYPE OF MEAN PERSON SHE WAS...SO SHE IS SPILLING HER PENNIES ALL OVER MY COUNTER AND I AM COUNTING THEM IN TENS...SO WASTING MY TIME SLOWING ME DOWN AND  GUESS WHAT...SHE ONLY HAD NINETY NINE CENTS...I WAS LIKE SORRY LADY  YOU'RE A PENNY SHORT....THINKING IN MY HEAD  SO I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE YOUR PENNIES.... SHE WAS FURIOUS AND THREW A DOLLAR  AT ME AND DUMPED ALL HER PENNIES BACK INTO  HER PURSE. I WAS JUST THINKING SERVES HER RIGHT. I LAUGH ABOUT IT NOW. SHE WAS DOING IT TO BE MEAN AND BE LIKE YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE CHANGE CUZ IT IS MONEY AND I WANT TO GET RID OF IT NOW...SHE SEEMED LIKE THE TYPE WHO CERTAINLY WOULD NOT DO THAT AT A PLACE THAT COULD ACTUALLY USE IT...SHE WANTED TO BE MEAN AND IN  CONTROL AND FORCE ME TO TAKE IT FROM HER...ANYWAY THAT IS TOTALLY THE VIBE SHE GAVE OFF LIKE NOBODY TELLS HER SHE CAN'T DO SOMETHING AND SHE DOESN'T CARE IF YOU NEED THEM OR USE THEM OR NOT YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT CUZ IT IS MONEY...ANYWAY FOR SOME REASON THAT MEMORY IS STUCK IN MY HEAD  AT THE MOMENT.MAYBE SHE NOT ONLY WANTED TO FORCE ME TO TAKE IT BUT DIDN'T EXPECT ME TO COUNT IT ALL OUT AND FIND OUT SHE WAS ALSO TRYING TO SHORT ME. I PRIDED MYSELF ON ALWAYS COMING OUT EVEN WHEN I CLOSED MY COUNTER I HAD THE EXACT RIGHT AMOUNT OF MONEY CUZ I WAS CAREFUL WITH GIVING OUT CHANGE. I HAD TO DO THE MATH ALL IN MY HEAD TOO CUZ THEY DIDN'T HAVE CASH REGISTERS BACK THERE WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY IT WAS ONLY QUARTERS AND DOLLARS TO MAKE IT EASIER TO ADD UP IN YOUR HEAD...ANYWAY I WAS GLAD I DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE ALL HER PENNIES AFTER ALL AND SHE WAS FURIOUS WHICH MADE IT EVEN BETTER CUZ SHE WAS TRYING TO BE MEAN AND THEN SHE HAD TO COLLECT UP ALL THOSE PENNIES AND PUT THEM BACK IN HER PURSE AND SHE HAD A DOLLAR READY ANYWAY WHICH SHE COULD HAVE JUST GIVEN ME IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT SHE WAS TRYING TO MAKE A POINT THAT I HAD TO TAKE IT WHETHER I USED IT OR NOT AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH OF MY TIME IT WASTED WITH OTHER PEOPLE WAITING...
