There is a SCAdian on Queer Eye right now. He is going to propose to his lady love at court.

Yay for DVR. Instant gratification... no tapes to set up, to make sure nothing is important on them, etc etc.

Quick whine, which is preceding me putting away my groceries because I am so perturbed.

I went out for a few items, one of which was Espresso Powder.

The shelf said $3.89. Fine.
I get the rest of my stuff, and when I check out, I notice the sticker on the item says $4.09. Fine.

I am fine with this because it's not like the sticker said one thing and the computer is wrong, so I calmly tell the cashier that they need to update their shelf sticker because it doesn't match the product sticker. The cashier begrudgingly gets her manager and charges me $3.89 instead -- although I didn't ask them to.

But, that is not why I am annoyed.

The tab, you see, was $15.68 total, so I hand her $20.68. I know because I meticulously counted out 2 quarters, a dime, a nickel, and 3 pennies.

She seems to have trouble adding the coins in her hand, and then the last words out of her mouth were something like "62" but I figure that she is counting the rest silently in her head. She turns around and cha-chings the register and proceeds to start giving me $4.95.

Call me crazy, but this annoys me. In my cashiering days if someone gave me $.95, I'd say (before putting money in and ringing up) "Excuse me, you gave me X, did you mean to give me Y?" or something to that effect.

I know I gave her that nickel. I care more about that nickel than the 20 cents I "saved" on the espresso.

And this is why, I really should only pay with a credit card. Because math is hard.
