Jordan and I have had a fun week so far, but I have to blog about what happened to us Monday night. We went to G Love and Jason Mraz Monday night, after a quick dinner and running out the door to get to the show. When we approached the venue, we realized we didn't have a lot of cash on us, and figured we would just have to get money out of the ATM for drinks. BUT, we had to pay for parking. Parking was $15 and I immediately started counting what cash I did have in my wallet. I had $14 cash and 3 quarters. I turned to our compartment in the car and started to count out change. The lady collecting money snarked at us and said,"I am NOT TAKING PENNIES!" Okay, I wasn't about to give the woman 150 pennies, we had one nickel and I was going to give the rest in pennies. SHE REFUSED, and told us that we would have to get money out of the ATM in order to pay to park. IS A PENNY NOT MONEY ANYMORE? SHE WAS SO MEAN, and I am still appalled that we had to take money out of the ATM with an ATM fee so that this woman would have the inconvenience of counting some change! We played nice, took the money out of the ATM for the sake of not ruining our evening.....unbelievable! I know the whole freakonomics theory of the penny is worthless, but does this mean I should stop accepting the penny as change....I take money no matter the denomination!
