It's not funny I'm thinking to myself....

So I was at Wendy's today for lunch and when the girl gave me my change I saw a roll of nickles in the tray. Well I promptly asked for the roll in the change, which she gave me. Only to hear the group that came with me laughing... Too bad I didn't find anything to shut them up. lol

That reminds me of a story. Goes a little something like this.

That's awesome. Whenever I see rolls of change, my heart skips a beat and I immediately start trying to figure out to get them. :lol:

Yesterday at work I sold $304.95 in irrigation parts a cash sale the payment was $305. As I was helping loading the parts the customer toss the 5 cents of change into the trash. After he pulled out of the lot I jumped into to the dumpster to get it and I did. :D

You can't leave us hanging like that. So what year was the nickel you got out of the dumpster? Inquisitive minds want to know. :D

Just a 1982-P. I work for a irrigation wholesale house and my best bet is that the customer was part of Oregon's medical cannabis growers they have a lot of cash and the 5 cents was not worth it to him. :D

I was at Sam's Club one day and the cashier is ringing up the order and the total amount is $380, and the cashier supervisor dropped several rolls of change on the counter quarters dimes, nickels and pennies and I notice at the end of one of the penny rolls is an old looking penny and I pickup the roll to see what the date is and the cashier snatches it out of my hand and doesn't say a word the rest of the transaction. I had the roll in my hand for 1 second and didn't even get to see the date. My wife is bitching at me and telling me I am going to go to jail if I act like that again. She says I acted totally inappropriately. If I wanted to steal $$$ I would have taken a roll of quarters. My total was $380. Give me a break. Yes, I have the fever.
