I have had them give me no change at all telling me the change is insignificant especially if it is just pennies or have them give me a quarter instead of 18 cents. I tell them that it is pennies on the burger that pays their wages, that a penny to a fraction of a penny profit on Walmart items earns them billions a year, that if they could come up with a way for McDonald’s to save a penny or two per item they sell they would be in the corporate office instead of the counter, that the pennies in the donation jar in part fund the Ronald McDonald House. Still, they do not get it.
I had a Buddhist hot dog vendor tell me that change must come from within.
