OldEastsideOldEastside Posts: 4,602 ✭✭✭✭✭
My wife was thrilled with her $1.99 purchase of a starbucks bottled coffee
today, especially when she handed out $3.00 and recieved in change
a 1964 p quarter, a 1951 d quarter and a 1971 Italian L.50 and a nickel
and 4 zinc pennys, heck so was I, then I said did'nt you say anything
about the 71 Italian coin, and she said why push it, I can't argue with
that. image

    I would have asked for all the remaining quarters in their register to feed the meter! image

    She should have handed the Italian coin back and asked for a quarter. It could have been another silver one!

    Nothing like getting change back that is worth 5X what you handed the clerk eh?

    Nothing like buying overpriced coffee everyday from Starbucks and once in a blue moon getting back a "winner" to keep you coming back - - kinda like the philosophy behind those one-armed bandits paying out a small sum with flashing lights every so often............

    My guess? Some poor slob was down to his saved silver and turned some of it it to get his daily, overpriced, barista-fed fix.................image

    Seriously, though... CONGRATS!! Makes me think about taking up drinking coffee - - - NOT!!image

    Glad to hear that! Let her know one woman on here stuck up for her! She's a lucky girl, maybe she should play the lottery quickly!
