Received the following in an email. I have no idea how true any of it is, nor do I care, it is just funny.
> My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave
> the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter..
>
> She said, 'you gave me too much money.'
>
> I said,'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back.'
> She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request.
> I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said 'We're sorry but
> they could not do that kind of thing.' The clerk then proceeded to give me
> back 75 cents in change.

> Do not confuse the clerks at MacD's.
