Not a good way to start the morning
For whatever reason, all I have in my wallet right now is a $50 bill. This creates some problems for me, since every Thursday I like to go to Dunkin' Donuts and get a hot chocolate and a donut to keep me alive through my 8 am class.
I didn't want to break the fifty, nor be embarassed when the cashier yelled at me for not having anything smaller. I gathered $2.75 in quarters from my giant change bucket before I left home instead. The extra weight from all those quarters was somehow comforting.
You can imagine my anger when I got into class with a donut and beverage in hand, and I looked at the cup to discover a distinctly unhot chocolate looking liquid pooling around the plastic lid. Instead of hot chocolate, they had given me coffee loaded with cream and sugar. I was very displeased.
How can I eat a donut without hot chocolate? How can I survive an 8 am class without nourishment? It was not easy, friends. How can I get back all those quarters I spent on something I wouldn't even drink? As you can imagine, it was one of the more unsatisfying donuts I've ever had. To top it off, my hand now smells like old coffee, a smell I've come to hate from standing too near to coffee addicts and baristas. And I still have two hours to lunch!

I'm surprised Dunkin Dounts didn't complain about getting paid with 11 quarters. Some people are just never happy...
