I really need to get with the program and have all my withdrawals broken into 20, 50, and only a few 100 peso notes because too few vendors do enough volume to provide adequate change.<\/p>\n
I picked out 23 pesos worth of veggies a few minutes ago and my smallest bill was 100, but I did have 3 pesos. I figured that 80 pesos would be easy enough to provide change for. Nope. I would never give a small vendor more than 100 for a purchase of 20 or more without checking that they have change, but I thought that 80 pesos of change would be easy to come by, especially that early in the day. Then again, if everyone does that…<\/p>\n
So now, I have to find another way to break that 100 today so that I can give Mr. Veggie Guy the 20 pesos I owe him the next time I see him. But, YES, he let me have the veggies on credit!!!<\/p>\n
Oh, well, that’ll give me change for hot dogs tonight, too, which I was going to skip due to my lack of change… I think I’ll do my walk early so I can stop in at a restaurant for a cold limonada after. Hmm, that sounds rather like a good idea. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I can’t count the number of times since I got here that I’ve not bought something because I only had a largish bill. I even got chicken on credit one day because I only had a 200 and they didn’t have the 150 pesos of change to give me, never mind that just about everyone pays with 50s and 100s.<\/p>\n
Really, the solution is to get my withdrawals converted to small bills every time, regardless of the lineup at the teller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
