So I've got this thing with American tourists who can't figure out our change, I mean except for the dollars it's exactly the same! I go down to the states and have no problem with the change! Paper money's different though, since you really have to read the numbers to figure out what denomination it is (silly monopoly money). So anyways I get this guy in to the Aquarium a few days ago and he wants to buy a stuffed 'something' (probably a beluga) and he needs 37 cents in change, so he dumps out his change on the counter, looks at me and says:
"You'll have to help me out with this, I'm from the States and I don't know your money"
Okay that's fine, there's no lineup, I'm willing to help this guy out without pointing out how dumb he is.
Luckily enough he does it for me.
He puts his fat finger on a coin, slides it towards me and says "how much is this one here???"
I look at the coin, look at the guy and state:
"It's a quarter sir, an American quarter."
sheesh.
