5¢ piece guilt

ninefruits:

What I really feel like now is some chips from the fish and chip shop just up the road. I have the exact change for some, but 30¢ of the change is made up of 5¢ pieces. For some reason I feel like a dick giving people 5¢ pieces. It makes me feel like I’m giving people the usless junk that I don’t want. It’s pretty much the equivalent of pissing on the cash-register. The dude there already hates me because I never order anything other than chips. I won’t be surprised if he throws my 5¢ pieces back in my face and tells me to go fuck myself. I would if I was him*

*I wouldn’t.

Incorrect. Working in a shop myself, I usually appreciate people paying in shrapnel*. We often run short, actually. So don’t worry about it, especially if it’s only 30 cents.

*The one exception is when people haven’t counted their change out beforehand.
