| | Posted: | | | | Yesterday, the counter person at my local Mickey D's looked at me crazy when I wouldn't accept the Canadian dime she wanted to give me in change. It's funny, but businesses seem much more agreeable to giving ME Canadian money in change than they are when I try to PAY for something using Canadian coins. Funny how they think it's Okay money when they have it, but how they don't want it when I've got it.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the exchange rate, just one of my Friday-afternoon pet peeves.
