Canada: America’s Hat
At The Checkout, Boston, Geography, Massachusetts, Money, Music Store, USA | Right
| February 3, 2010
(The customer’s total is $9.67. She hands me a ten-dollar bill and three Canadian quarters.)
Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, I can’t accept this change.”
Customer: “Why not? It’s 67 cents and I gave you 75.”
Me: “Right, but this is Canadian currency.”
Customer: “So? They’re still quarters.”
Me: “Right, but they’re Canadian Quarters. I can’t accept foreign currency.”
Customer: “Canada’s not foreign! It’s in America!”
