Oh I'll break you something...

So I was in McDonalds the other day getting my grease fix. This mom walks in with her little kid, orders them some food, totaling up to about $8. So she hands the cashier a $100 bill.

Come on people. Is that really necessary? Do we really need to go into a fast food joint with nothing smaller than a $100 bill? Now, if you were buying burgers for the whole baseball team, I could see it. That's reasonable. But for pete's sake, you don't need to flaunt your money by carrying nothing smaller than a $100 bill in your purse! It's like a reminder to the cashier that you've got more money in your hand than they'll make all day, that's really sweet of you. Use your check card, that's reasonable. But the $100 bill is arrogant and unnecessary unless you're a drug dealer. tTen it's expected.

Who wants to impress the McDonald's crew more? Rich snobs want to impress the McDonald's crew more.
