This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

So your store relied on charity to steal pennies for the company... sounds about right

We always put a few pennies in when it emptied out and never put pennies back into the register. At best it was the company spending a small amount for customers to trade pennies around both to benefit them and the company.

When I paid with cash I loved the give a penny take a penny.

Are you thinking of those charity jars where people donate loose change? That is something completely different and no we did not have those charity jars in the store.
