i was shopping at safeway today and my total came to $9.98. when giving me my change, the cashier asked me if i wanted my two cents. without really thinking about it, i told her “no” and took my purchase and headed over to my car.

halfway to my car, i started to think about the transaction. i don’t think that i have ever been asked if i want my change before. i wonder, though, if this is safeway’s secret plan to get little bits of change from each cash purchase. no matter how little it is, this little bit could add up to something pretty significant. pretty sneaky!
