The Pennies dont count !

So i opened the piggy bank today to scratch together enough change to buy some new paint. Nothing fancy, just any white paint from the hardware store so i can set up the next canvas, an old dirty door in the cellar id like to use. See, im using what i can, trying not to waste a penny on any thing... yes were broke. So anyway, there i am counting out the small change from the piggy bank... bag up ten euros and head off to Bauhaus, hoping to find some dirt cheap paint.

Anyway, find something for 8,50 and this makes me happy as most two litter tins are like 30 Euro ! proceed to the check out and with slight embarrassment get out my bag of small change, i dont have a problem with it, its money, i dont have a lot and i need some paint so i can continue with my art and maybe one day get a show in a gallery...

So the check out lady, looks at me like im a bum and say.. sorry you cant pay with that !!! Im like, but its only 8,50 in 20cent and 50 cent coins, its not like it a 100 Euro thing im paying for... NO the old bag replies... it kills me it really does.

i begged and pleaded but NO... to much hassle to put the coins in her little box. Cold looks and venom shooting from her eyes... it makes me sad it really does.

Well theres a rant for you. If you've only got pennies, your not good enough ! Well fuck U Bauhaus.
