on saturday as we drove to toronto we stopped at a tim hortons just off the highway. we needed a beverage to tide us over until we arrived at licks. i ordered at the drive-thru gave the fella a 20 and 6 cents, and took our drinks, it was a pretty straightforward exchange. as we arrived in scarborough about an hour later b said to me "where's the change from tim horton's?" and i realize that i'd driven away without our 14 worth of change! ARGH! so annoying! man, i felt bad.
that night when we drove home we stopped at a mcdonalds for their $1 soft drink deal, and i gingerly said to b and beck "this time i'll try to not forget the change". but that time, it was the poor employee who kept screwing up our order. really... it was a very complicated interaction for 3 mid-night pops. we did pay with exact change so at least that part went smoothly. the three of us had a very difficult time not busting at gut at the misfortune of the fast food worker. i think we kept it together ok.
coke zero. fruitopia? no, coke zero.
3 mediums. 3 large? no, 3 medium.
3 medium coke zeros and 1 large root beer? no 2 medium coke zeros and 1 medium root beer.
and so on and so forth :S
take it from your heart,
put it in your hand.
