Little Annoyances
A friend bought this fancy new California scratcher ticket. It was ten dollars and you could win a million. So he scratched it off and, predictably, won nothing. But then he brought it home because you could still use it to enter some second-chance lottery.
No, no, no. Either you win right away or you lose right away. Let's not spread out the losing to two rounds and pretend you're doubling your chances.
I was in a grocery store and gave the cashier a hundred-dollar bill. If I have a hundred-dollar bill I try to spend it as soon as possible since a lot of places will only take a twenty or less. So I got change--which included a fifty-dollar bill. This totally defeats the purpose, since it's just as hard to unload one of those.
I bet the cashier knew exactly what he was doing.

Why didn't you immediately buy a pack of gum? If he objected he needed to save his smaller denoms, your need is just as important.
No, I'd played the game and lost. There'll be other rounds.
Actually, the best thing to do is go to Fresh & Easy which has machine checkouts. You buy one item and put in your hundred and it gives you change--though for some reason it gives you tens instead of twenties, but I can deal with that.
