Pennies are worthless
November 25th, 2004
Onceuponatime, a newspaper cost $.02. Coffee: $.05. But now, those little coins weigh more than they’re worth.
Put them all in the change dish; round up and down.
Groceries: $44.96. That’s $45.
Gas: $24.82. That’s $25.
Milk: $1.14. Tough one. Why not $1.25?
Breakfast sandwich: $4.08. Down is okay, too. $4.
And so on.
But nobody does this. And you’d be amazed how often vendors display emotion over $.02.
