"What did you just say?"

[Foeofthelance]

I will admit that there are some where the 'me' does seem to be at fault or a jerk, but I find these in the minority. One I thought was particularly jerkish was not accepting canadian quarters in a US transaction. Are places really that anal about coinage?

Banks won't accept them, so it comes up as a "loss", at least it does at the store I work at. It doesn't stop us from taking them (since we're not that anal about it) but it does mean we have to take care to fob it back onto a customer when we give them change. Depending on how strict a store is, yeah, I could see the change being a hassle. And it is not worth the chance of losing your job in this economy.
