Have a Penny!

Well I know I have been slipping, Im sorry, but well drama drama, it comes and goes week in and week out. Anyways thats another blog.
Today however, I would like to talk about pet peeves, It seems I add a new one daily every since I have been working at my current job. So today Im gonna share a few.

For those that dont know I work in a food mart store. Yes we sell alot of gas too. So with the gas pumps a mere 30 ft away from me, I would have to say my Number 1 peeve of the day is....
People who smoke while pumping gas! Now I am a smoker, But I have Never, ever smoked while pumping gas, and to watch this, while I standing 30 ft away really pushes my buttons.

Number 2 also pertains to smoking, I can say these things cause I do smoke, but I dont do these things! People who throw there cigerettes on the ground 2 ft away from the ashtray provided outside. This is a minor peeve, well its not really even a peeve, its just a "why'd you do that stupid? shout out"

But the main thing that bugs me since starting this job, is just an observation. and the title to the blog.

How many of you have seen the have a penny, leave a penny, need a penny, take a penny dish, most foodmarts have on their counter.
Notice this does not say take a few take a bunch if you want we'll buy your lunch.
No it says take A penny! and If someone is 4 or 5 short I dont mind, but its the people that will take a dozen to keep from breaking a dollar that really gets me.
Today a man came in and bought a 74 cent item he had about 92 cent in his hand, but he doesnt use that, instead he takes his 2 pennines and 2 more out of the dish and then gives me a dollar.
End result, he got back 30 cent in change. rather than give me 75cent and getting a penny back, or even giving me 72 cent and using 2 from the dish he opts to do it that way and gets 3 cent back instead of one.
It really didnt make sense to me, but I just smiled, even though I had these thoughts racing thru my head. And I think was it really just a conveinence thing for him, or was it greed.
The world may never know!
