ran some last minute errands for tomarrow and what a day. people were really grouchy and driving like maniacs. I was worried some kid was going to get run over in the store parking lot.
I gave the lady at the farmer's market a $20 and she gives me back a $5 instead of $15, tell her I gave her a $20 and she claims it was only a $10.argues with me and finally says something to the manager. They look at me, tell me not to touch any of the money on the counter (the lady pulled out a $10 to show I gave that to her, could have pulled out a $1 too...) they are going to look at the security tape. So I said "go ahead" Guess that threw them, I had $50 with me and only had $30 left in my wallet so knew what I gave. After 5 mins , he comes back and gives me $15 with an "I'm sorry".. HAH...knew it was a $20, thank goodness for the security tape. the lady gave me the stink eye but I was nice and smiled.
and the day continued on like that...UGH! 1|1|And it'll just get worse as Christmas approaches...I think that is my #1 gripe about the holidays, rude and grouchy people! :(|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|20:41:15|11/25/2009|
A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.
--Thomas Jefferson--
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.
~Abraham Lincoln

3|1|Might I make a suggestion... tell them what you are giving them...|Kristy|mi3zons1@yahoo.com|21:15:04|11/25/2009|
I had a fight with Wendy's over this last year. I've since gotten in the habit or tried to anyway of saying what I'm giving them. So I say okay HERE's a TWENTY!!!!
