This is a ten dollar bill.
It has a yellow tint to it.
No one knows why— it just does. It’s been yellowish since anyone can remember. Well, apparently this woman had never seen a ten dollar bill in her life.
She was in her 70s. I gave her her change and she was on her way. I moved on to my next customer.
Lady comes back.
“Excuse me, sir,” she said in a frail voice, “Can you tell me what’s wrong with this bill?” She showed it to me, and I looked over it. This was while I was still ringing for my present customer.
She showed me the obverse side and then flipped it over. I said, “Nothing’s wrong with it.”
“It’s yellow,” she mumbled.
I said something about how it was fine, and she said “Okay” in a voice of disbelief. She put the ten dollar bill in her wallet and was on her merry way.
What do you mean, “that’s all?” I was just getting started!
Up in front of the registers, we have these pools out:
Of course, they’re in a box.
The box says “48 in. x 15 ft.” The pool is four feet tall and 15 feet wide.
This woman was looking at the pools after she finished checking out. Tehn, she turns around and asks me:
How big is 15 feet? Am I 15 feet? Do you think I could swim in this?
I responded that she was about as tall as me— 5 feet. Yes, she could swim in it. I didn’t know what to say.
