I have come to the conclusion that anyone working at a place like that is an idiot, so I always say "heres a 20".

Only problem with that is the surcharge often associated with making a purchase with a debit card. I use a local credit union and they charge .50 per transaction. And if I want cash back it cost me $1.25.

This is why I always carry about $3 worth of change with me--just in case I'm so desparate for a coffee that I have to go into a DDs.

Watching them try to add up all of the change is priceless

Amazingly, the last 3-4 times I've gone to the one in Sagamore Beach, I've dealt with the same woman whose first language is actually English, and who can actually count to 20 without taking off her shoes

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

DumDum gave you back two $5. and six $1. (she took the seven $1., remove one $1. giving you six $1.s'). Why did she say you gave her $10 if you received $16 plus change ?

Tell us the truth, you got a donut.
