When I worked in retail–back when people used paper money–my favorite change to give was $.41.
One of each coin. So satisfying!

I love that you noticed this. I thought I was the only one who got excited about such dorky things.
August 15th, 2007 at 7:46 am
You figured that out all on your own, didn’t ya…
BAHAAAAAAA! Hope all is well down there! xoxo

Love the simple things!

A keen observer, you are.
Thanks for the early morning laugh, I needed it!

I never thought of that, it goes to show that some people are more in tune to then others.

One thing out of each little tray.
I liked it when things rang up $6.66 and the customer would flip out.

I was always the person who scrounged around for the four pennies….

I love that you filed that under “I’m a dork.” Ahahahahaha.

So, you probably know how to add and subtract, too! No longer a requirement for retail, I’ve noticed (whenever a register breaks, they say “come back later” — ha!).

I get excited when my purchase comes to the exact doollar, no change. $26 – even. $42. Love it.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who likes things like that! 🙂
August 15th, 2007 at 5:29 pm
I’m impressed that you found anything at all satisfying about working in retail. You are my hero.
August 15th, 2007 at 5:43 pm
I love the little things in life!
I could use some simple pleasures right now…as EVERYONE and EVERYTHING at the Mayhem is pissing me off! 🙂
August 15th, 2007 at 6:31 pm
Not only was it one of each, you could get it out quick!
Some days I miss retail..other times I think I’m nuts for working in it as long as I did.
August 15th, 2007 at 6:36 pm
Me too! $16 was fun too. $16.41 is really the best of all.
August 15th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
Damn you’re good.
All those years I worked in retail and I never noticed that.
Guess I was too busy staring out into the mall looking for cute boys…
August 15th, 2007 at 8:02 pm
How do you even remember such a thing?
August 15th, 2007 at 10:51 pm
That is rather cute. My wife has little quirks like that. She doesn’t like separating paper clips because she thinks they’d be sad and lonely apart.
OK, that’s a bit different. But your post reminded me of that.

Back when I worked retail, I hated giving any change.
It was a reminder that I was working…and I can’t have that, now can I?
🙂
Found ya by way of mybloglog…hopes ya don’ts minds!

Is it weird that I totally love this post? As in I-would-marry-it-if-I-could love.
August 16th, 2007 at 4:59 pm
I love this – I didn’t realize it, but I do love this. And I’m glad you found me – I stupidly didn’t think to have cards for BlogHer…next year. (=

I remember people freaking out over $6.66 too.
At one tour operator I had to deal with a woman who was so upset that 13666 was her reservation number, that she insisted on canceling, because it was a sign that her plane would crash, or some other horrible catastrophe would befall her.
Yeah lady. Like losing your deposit.

You crack me up and I can TOTALLY relate to the love of 41 cents in change. Makes complete sense to me!
