Tires

You know the other day when I was whining about being hungry and tired?

You: "Yes."

Yesterday, I decided to grab a bag of chips or a small bag of popcorn before my 4:00 class.
I went to the vending machine, and saw that these items were $1.00.

The machine took $5 bills, $1 bills and quarters.
I looked in my wallet- I had a $20, a $10, and 3 quarters.

So since I didn't have the right amount of legal tender required, I did not get to buy or eat my snack, and I was sad.

I also didn't think the vending machine was something to be haggled with; mostly because I suck at haggling, but also because the machine is a machine and cannot mechanically haggle.

And that's the true story about how I had $30.75 and could not buy a bag of chips.

Staring at the waves,

  1. Couldn't you just ask someone in the hall if they have change?

  2. But that would make me one of those people who asks others in the hallway for change.
