Fast food workers

Today I got up fairly early for someone who didn't have to be in until 12:30. So, instead of working on some neat ASP.Net projects I have going on in my basement (an aside: My copy of VS.Net shipped today! Huzzah bitch! Say Huzzah! :) ) Instead, what do I do? Prep my taxes for mailing and make a payment on my student loan. Tons of fun. Anyhow, I go in a little early to mail them, and only have a couple of 20's when I get to the PO.
Shit. I haven't had a stamp in months. So, slipping a 20 into the handy-stamp machine nets me 1 $6.xx book of stamps, and 13 fucking dollar coins. (PO vending machines only give change in coins) I HATE dollar coins. With a passion. Mainly because they're heavy, bulky, and can't be placed easily in a wallet. Another reason to dislike them (at least the new gold looking Sacajewia ones) is that if you hand 5 of them to a fast food worker like I did today, you get a show not unlike watching a monkey molesting a diamond or some other entertaining shiny thing. She had to turn it this way and that, to discern the value of said shiny thing, debate in her head whether or not to call her boss to check if they're legit, who knows what goes on in the minds of the simple.

I would be more understanding if these coins were a new development, but they most ceratinly are not. These things were new about 2 or 3 years ago, and have been used at PO's and Wal-Marts ever since their inception. (Wal-Marts are ginormous stores with a frightening penchant for running any other store in that town out of business, so this person, should they have purchased anything at all in the last couple of years, should have come across this before) Therefore I am irritated highly and thus bitch about it here. Consider yourselves smammed or some such a thing.

I wasn't in the best mood. I was about to ask her if she left the cave much, but I like to eat there a lot and was feeling half-way humane. :biggrin:

They put fucking WPA on VS? Shit. :mad: I paid for it, but that doesn't mean I like WPA any more than I did before. :mad:

(I bet the guys who thought WPA was a good idea like dollar coins. Weirdo bastards. :biggrin: )
