Mine are in a little wooden pig.
When it fills up, I roll the pennies and take em to the bank.

Convinced that we just screwed him out of two cents, he comes up to the Customer Service desk and demands that I give him back his money. After a much flustered me trying to figure out why he's so upset over two cents (I've seen people leave half a dollar at the checkstand 'cause they don't want the change), I finally do the math for him and it turns out that he's actually getting two cents out of the deal. I tell him so and he goes "Oh, okay, then we're fine." And walks away.
I wanted to say something snarky about how he should give us two cents back, but I was too blown away at the time by the fact that he was getting SO MAD that we had false advertising which might have caused him to loose out on two cents.
Is this going to be a strip ?
This is why I'll never work retail. I keep away from those damn crazy customers. Dealing with parents at a college is bad enough.
