“May I have an extra twenty?” said Mr. H.
to the Walmart cashier who’d just checked him out.
“Yes, Sir, here you go,” the cashier said
as he handed Mr. H. a twenty dollar bill and slammed the cash drawer.
“But I wanted a ten and two fives,” Mr. H.
explained.
“Too late,” said the young man. “I can’t
reopen the cash drawer. You’ll have to go to the Money Center.”
So off to the Money Center went Mr. H.
“Can you give me a ten and two fives for
this twenty?” he asked, explaining that the cashier closed the drawer and
couldn’t reopen it.
“Sorry, Sir. I can’t open my cash drawer
either,” said the young lady. “Try Customer Service.”
“Okay, thanks,” said Mr. H. and headed for
Customer Service.
“Hi there, what can I do for you?” said a
pleasant young lady.
“I need a ten and two fives for this
twenty; can you do it?”
“Sure can,” she answered, opening her cash
drawer.
“Oops!” she said. “I don’t have any tens.
Would you take four fives?”
“Yes, that’ll be fine,” said Mr H. glad to
have the matter settled at last.
“Uh-O! I only have three fives. Would you
take five ones?”
“Sure,” chuckled Mr. H.
And then, with a little chuckle of her own,
the woman said, “Oh, my! I only have three ones.” To which Mr. H. quickly
replied, “No, I won’t take eight quarters!”
With a little assistance from another
employee, the woman finally got the cash she needed and handed Mr. H. the four
fives for which he'd been waiting.
When he told me about this, I laughed and
shook my head in disbelief.
“You don’t believe me?” he said. “I couldn’t make up a story like that if I tried.”

Haha! Yes, I'd believe this. Love the way you've related it. Cute!
So Funny! Poor Mr. H. Is he really that patient? I would have been so mad!!
This doesn't surprise me. You never know what you'll get at Wal-mart.
He's right. Some things just can't be made up but they're pretty unbelievable anyway. Great post.
