Here are things that happen. Standing in a store and a kid, not over 17,
puts about $300 in bills on the counter and tells the clerk to take whatever
the bill is. I bought something and gave the clerk $2.00. The cash
registers were out. She took a handful of change and said take what I
needed. Fast food outlets have pictures on the registers instead of
numbers. It goes on and on.
