Keep the change

by MarkJT @ 30 Apr. 2005 - 00:38:38

I will if I can catch it.

I visit this sandwich shop from time to time where this dear old lady makes and cuts the best tasting sandwiches in the world……..ever!.

However, making tasty sandwiches is not as straightforward as it sounds. You see, although this dear old lady is great at making and cutting sandwiches, for some reason, she can’t hand me the change from my payment without dropping it.

The first time it happened I thought it was an accident – as I was bending down trying to retrieve the rolling coins. ‘Ooh sorry love’ she said as I waved her goodbye.

The next time I went in, it happened again. Coins scattering all over the place and me scrambling for them.

The third time I was ready. I wanted one of her sandwiches but knew there might some coin throwing and scrambling involved again.

I watched as she returned from the till, half a dozen coins in her hand. I held mine out as far as it would go, tongue sticking out in concentration.

But no – it happened again. All over the floor.

Next time I go there I’m going to take a wicket keeper’s glove.
