shf happens on the road: Gas pains in South Dakota

Chamberlain, SD (FASTLAUGH.com) — Note to the befuddled gas station cashier in Chamberlain, South Dakota.
When a customer prepays you $60.00 for gas and tells you that they will return for their change and receipt, they have good reason to expect a dollar bill as change from $59.01 in fuel.
So, yes, they are quite justified in questioning your intelligence and sanity for counting out the exact change to the penny.
Obviously, you didn’t bother to read the “Leave a Penny, Take a Penny” memo that has been going around for years.
Just so you know… the penny is basically worthless. Practically dead. Nearly valueless. Yet, you insisted on slowly and painfully counting out ninety-nine cents change.
Thanks so much for providing a special South Dakota memory.
