Can she do that? I thought only American tender was usable.
I finally gave in and visited Canada during the brief period when the Canadian dollar had pretty much achieved parity with the U.S. dollar. Plus Vancouver is a ridiculously expensive city.
Damn Canadians.
I felt bad having patronized Main Drag for so long. But Main Drag doesn’t sell hangers, so Atlantic Center it was.
The playing a guitar with a quarter era was sufficiently so-called “punk rock,” but it was not very effective (and it was seven years ago).
Effectively played Punk Rock guitar? Hmmmm… Gonna have to think about that one.
When I worked retail a woman objected to the Canadian penny in her change. I apologized, and opened my drawer to get her an American one, no problem, it’d just take a second…
And she said to me, “I don’t want to get screwed on the exchange rate.”
I looked at her and thought, “Do you think somone’s gonna tell you that it’s only worth 3/4 of a penny? It’s a PENNY. No one other than you gives a damn. People throw them away, they are worth so little.”
Gave her a new one and tried to avoid eye contact.
It weirds me out how sensitive Americans are about Canadian change. Though, I suppose it doesnt work in your vending machines… which is another strange thing. Why does American coin work in Canadian vending machines, but not vice versa?
I think our vending machines are programed to accept certain tender(hence why you can’t give a vending machine 5 dollars in pennies). I guess Canadian vending machines are more accommodating.
I work at a Target! And we’re about 45 minutes away from the Canadian border and people ask if they can give me Canadian money. Nope. I do get a few Canadian coins here and there, but I just give them back out.
In Canada, pretty much any place will take US change, so I think that’s why it seems a bit strange/unfair to Canucks when the reverse isn’t true. American money is so boring though (except the state quarters, those are fun)
Aw man, she stiffed you approximately 3.4 cents!
Canadian Quarter = guitar pick!
Atlantic Center/Terminal?
