to make the cashier look at you just a wee bit funny!
😉
Drove over to Soldotna Tuesday to buy a new bathing suit – it is amazing how quickly the chlorine wears out suits, btw!
What with the price of gas and such, it was only a GREAT deal (50% off) that would have me making an extra trip to the next town (24 miles is 24 miles after all – round trip, that is). And, it was only that great deal – in the week prior to payday – that would have me robbing the Hawaii fund to purchase the suit.
I’ve mentioned before that I save my change, roll it and take it to the bank to put it into a special HAWAII FUND for the trip I am planning to make the year I turn 60 (and it is closing in quickly, I might add!) About 6 months after I began saving change I started adding folding money also – saving ones and sometimes fives.
So, I grabbed all the folding money before heading off to Soldotna.
Can you imagine – oh, please do – the look on the cashier’s face when I handed her the suit, watched her ring it up, then handed her a (nicely folded) wad of ones?!!? It was priceless!
She acted like she could hardly bring herself to TOUCH the bills, let alone count them out – even though I counted them right in front of her and had stacked them neatly into piles of ten – she watched me handle them, but could barely contain the snarl of her lips as she picked them up to count them herself.
😉
I just know – and Ladybug even laughed with me this morning as I modeled the new suit and told the tale – that the poor cashier was thinking – “OMG! She’s pretty old to be stripping!”
LOL – honey-chile, that’s not the ONLY way to get one dollar bills! (I’ll let Ladybug tell you what SHE thought the cashier might have been thinking.)
Priceless, I tell you, priceless! I love living in a small town.
