just curious L.D. ..... are you a waiter? i never tip pennies unless it is a pile of change i also leave with the regular tip. i even tip convenience stop folk, check out folk at the market, and even folks at the drive-in windows, both the money taker window and the pick-up window.....yes. a 2 dollar drink and sandwich order costs me between 4 and 6 dollars. why? i was dirt poor, WAY below the poverty line for all my childhood, and for 54 after birth, and i used to daydream about being wealthy, so wealthy that i could give everyone i come into contact with a dollar or two (i guess i got it from my grandpa, he kept a half-dozen or so packs of chewing gum in his overall"s bib pocket, and EVERYONE he came into contact was offered a piece of gum, take another for you brother, or your wife, or a piece for each of your kids.) at 54 i kinda realized it was VERY late in life to accumulate enough coin to do what i would do if i were rich, so i just started doing it anyway, give away my last dollar if i only had one. get rung up in checkout, and tell the clerk to add the next person in lines tab to mine, or tell the clerk to add my purchases to the one in front of me before they have a chance to pay. makes some folks uncomfortable, and look at me like i am trying to steal their sunglasses, but i don't care, i am selfish, this is for me, not them, it has nothing to with them or who they are, it is all about me, because i have discovered....... that i no longer ever EVER do without anything i need, and never without anythingi even just want and don't actually need. i am 60 yrs old now, and feel fabtabulously rich inside my head, and at peace. i can retire in a few years from minimum wage, and life will be even better.
but i remember the days of looking out for pennies, trying to collect enough for a loaf bread or pack of crackers, and the joy at finding a penny in the parking lot. if you can afford a pc or cell or tab, and afford hosting or bandwidth to actually be here, playing this game, then any such thrill over a penny is FAR far away. but when ya pass out dollars, you can tell from the reactions that there are still a LOT of people out there who still count every penny because they HAVE to, to "get by", because they have not yet learned what i have about money---if ya want there to be an endless supply, ya gotta act like there is.
sorry for rambling so....
