I wish I had that kind of job security

Back in my snarkier days, on occasion, I would hand the kid behind the counter a $20 bill for my food at the local burger joint.

Then, just after he rang it up into the computer, I would hand him the change part of the total and ask him to take it.

Usually, the ensuing chaos would be the sort of thing that would go viral on YouTube today, if I had recorded it.
