I lost what little remaining faith I had in the youth of America this morning. I went to the coffee shop and my total was $4.08. Gave the kid a ten, then fished around in my pocket for change. Found ยข6. "Is six cents ok?" I inquired. As any reasonable person would, kid says, "Sure, no problem." He then proceeded to studiously count out $5.98 in change. I was speechless, so I simply took the money and walked away, dazed and confused.
