I shoulda foreseen this.
Ever since Trump stopped / cancelled the penny, it feels like I don't see random discarded pennies on the ground anymore. Confession: no lie, no jokes, this was my happy place hobby. Picking up loose change on the ground. I've been doing this for years. I'm not trolling, I'm not joking.
Every day, I used to find at least ONE penny on the ground randomly. Or More. Dimes, Nickels, Quarters. Every day. It made my day. Free money on the street.
Since Trump canceled the penny, nothing. No pennies on the ground, no nickels, no dimes. Nothing.
And it gets worse. I like using cash. Since this second term and the demise if the penny, I CANNOT trust any change a cashier gives me, now that they claim they don't have pennies. Tonight, drive thru Taco Bell, dude short changed me like 95 cents. This is a common thing now. Any change I get from cashier is wildly suspect. They're not short changing me a nickel or a dime. They're short changing me like 55 cents, 74 cents, 27 cents, just odd numbers. Anywhere I go. I'm so sick of it.
I've never experienced this before.
I didn't forsee that loose pennies, nickels and dimes would disappear from the ground. I didn't forsee cashiers everywhere would start short changing me wild amounts. Not just a nickel or a dime but like a whole 41 cents for no reason, a whole 66 cents for no reason. They'll just give me a couple of coins back that when I double check I'm like dude why you owe me like 67 cents, what gives, bro? It's so bizarre.
