6809 - Long joke Sunday

Just experienced the pettiest standoff at

Walgreens and I have never felt more alive.

My prescription total came out to literally 12 cents,

so I dug into my wallet and handed the pharmacist a

dime and two pennies. He looked at me with pure

disdain and goes, "We don't take those anymore.

They stopped making pennies."

I told him they're still legal tender, but he refused.

So I pulled back the coins and handed him a twenty

dollar bill instead. The look of disgust was immediate ...

He opens the register to break a twenty for a

12-cent transaction, only to realize he doesn't have

enough singles or coins in the drawer. He looks up

and mutters, "I don't have exact change."

I just smiled and said, "I do."

There was dead silence while he gave me my twenty back and

quietly accepted my 12 cents.
