The other day we went to the drive through at a major chain fast food establishment. The total was $24.95. I gave the attendant $30.00 in cash. My change was supposed to be $5.05. The attendant gave me a $5 bill. I asked where the rest of the change was. The attendant asked me, "you want the nickel?" I said yes. The attendant got huffy and gave me my 5 cents.
What's up with that? Is that something new? Do we now give up our rights to exact change?
