Strange. Since *she* would be the one having to come up with $20
when she closes the register, I wonder why she was giggling?
Two possibilities:
1. The employer makes up the shortfall - a really dumb idea, or
2. The clerk is too stoopid to think more than a minute ahead.
I vote (2) There is a severe oversupply of stoopid people right now.
