today i went to shoppers drug mart while i waited for my wash cycle at the laundromat to finish. knowing i didn't have enough quarters for the dryer, i asked the cashier at shoppers, in what i thought was a resourceful move, if i could get a few quarters as part of my change. when she handed me my change however, the presence of the extra quarters resulted in such an excess handful of coins that she ended up dropping some on the floor. this led to my crouching on the ground in search of a coin that ultimately ended up being a penny, in a moment that made me feel much less shrewd and resourceful than i had a few seconds earlier.
