Change You Can Believe In

So, I went to Taco Casa the other day. I ordered my food; tacos of course. And a big taco. A big taco called Taco Lite. For a Lite Taco it sure is heavy. I suppose they call it a Lite Taco because it is made with a fried flour tortilla shell instead of a corn shell. I know it's not lite because of the meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sauce of your choice and sour cream all jammed inside of it. But I digress.

So, I went to Taco Casa the other day. I ordered my food; tacos of course. And a big taco and a burrito. The total of the order came to $6.01. I gave the cashier $10.00. Not wanting to carry around a pocketful of change, (99 cents for our friends at Taco Casa) I managed to find a penny and offered it to the cashier guy to make the change making process easier.

MISTAKE.

He just looked at the penny and then at me and then at the register.

I've seen that look somewhere before. It reminded me of a deer; in headlights. Cashier Guy didn't know what to do. Finally, he said, "I've already punched it in and can't change it.

ALL RIGHTY THEN!

Silly me! And to think, in my world it would be easier to supply the penny and simply receive a few dollar bills in change instead of a pocketful of miracles change.

Needless to say, I walked out of Taco Casa with my bag of food, a new story, and the change.
