There is an epidemic in this country.
We have a change problem. It can be your auto-rickshaw driver. It may be the shop vendor. It is definitely the vegetable-cart guy. No one has change!
I buy something for 87. I give 100. "Do you have 3 change, madam?"
No, no I don't. I gave it to the vegetable-cart guy this morning.
Don't worry, though. Here is the solution. That 3 (which is equivalent to a nickel) now becomes 3 pieces of candy, a pack of gum or if you are at a bakery (which my friend and I thought was a coffee shop...due to the name being a coffee shop...but we can talk about misnomers later)...a muffin. I bought bread, two cokes (replacement for coffee) and didn't have the 5 change. "No problem," he says. "Here is strawberry muffin."
It's just a funny thing that now I have come to expect. I gotta tell you, Lydia doesn't mind. She ate that strawberry muffin (it was pink) and asks me to carry big bills all the time.
