Exchange with a teenage cashier today. Total was $17.15 and I handed him $20.15:
Him: you don’t need the .15 bc the $20 covers it
Me: Yes, but then I can get $3 back
Him: whoa. Wow, you’re thinking ahead. That’s cool. Not many people do that
Me: 😳

What a privilege it is to afford a gym, buy healthy food, pay bills, have legs that walk, eyes that see, a brain that functions, work every day, and take our bodies to their full potential.
