Loonie Toonies
Me: “Good evening, sir. How can I help you?”
Guest: “I need change for $5.00 so I can leave the maid a tip.”
(The guest hands me a Canadian $5.00 bill and I open my register and take out a ‘toonie’ and three ‘loonies’ and hand it to the guest.)
Guest: *blank look* “What is this?”
Me: “That is change for $5.00.”
Guest: “Is this real?”
Me: “Yes, sir.”
Guest: “Are you kidding me?”
Me: “No, sir. I assure you that is Canadian change for five dollars.”
Guest: “Is the maid going to understand what this stuff is?”
