$$$

Cashing a Benjamin is difficult! I’ve been trotting around with a $100 bill for a couple of months now, deciding to spend it yesterday on a $6.00 purchase. Wrong.

Aside from no cash in the register, the clerk was new, the line behind me impatient, and the woman in charge about to go on break. To be fair, the line wasn’t that long when I started this exchange, it only lengthened as this task presented its challenge.

It wasn’t impossible, and now I have tip money! We’ll see how quickly this new monetary display in my wallet dwindles away.
