You want to pay with what?

My sister and I went Christmas shopping last night. I still had a few things to get and she needed to buy presents for her husband. She works in an industry that receives tips so she was paying with cash. I had a budget so I was paying with cash. It’s so much easier to stick to a budget if you actually see yourself forking over money. We were checking out at one of the stores and I was paying first. The sales clerk rang up the sale. I started pulling twenty dollar bills out of my wallet. And he said, “You’re paying with cash?!” The way he said it almost made me laugh. Like people didn’t remember what cash even looked like anymore. And then my sister paid. With cash. He counted it wrong. Twice. So it seems since technology has taken over people can’t even count money anymore.

I still have a few more things to get but for the most part I’m done. And I haven’t gone that much over budget. Now I just have to wrap everything.

Until next time…
