That's 2.5% For You!

Do you ever wish you could tip cashiers? I was at Target today and was checked out by a woman in her 60s. I mean, "checked out" like she was the cashier and I was the customer and she scanned my items through the cash register. She didn't look me up and down or wink at me or anything like that. In fact, she did just the opposite. I don't think she made eye contact with me at all. She spent the entire transaction talking to the old man who had just completed his transaction and who I assumed would walk away, as a normal customer does. He didn't.
I really wish I could have tipped her. When she looked down at the two pennies, a paper clip and some pocket lint I would have given her, that would send a message. Like "Hey, lady, maybe you should focus on my transaction instead of continuing to talk to a guy who is probably hitting on you about the failing car industry. You are too old for that kind of behavior!" Hussy.
