FORGET THE PENNY: SAVE THE QUARTER!!
Oh.. and get some CHANGE!

Let me preface by saying I am not one of the fortunate in Miami Beach to have a washer and dryer in my apartment, so the daunting task of weekly laundering can be very stressful, especially when you can't find quarters on this beach to save your life. 
It's like they are extinct or something!  Blue whales are disappearing from the earth's oceans as quarters are disappearing from this beach!  Equally as tragic in my eyes... (Just kidding PETA) 
I mean, even though you can SEE rolls upon rolls of quarters in their registers, vendors simply don't want to give them up. 
You are forbidden. 
It's like crack to an addict, you want it but you can't have it.  DAMMIT!!! 

This certain day I had my whole wardrobe to wash.  One load. 
Just kidding.. because clearly, if you knew my fabulous wardrobe you would know that I have more than one load of laundry in my wardrobe! 
So... I go to my usually friendly neighborhood market to procure some change. The location I will keep secret, though it is at 14th and Washington across from JAZID.
I proceed to politely ask for quarters! The guy snatches a dollar from my hand and throws four quarters my way. 
I ask for one more dollar, knowing in the back of my head.... I went too far.
He replies, "If I give you one dollar, you'll want two, if I give you two, you'll want three."  I say, "screw you asshole, I am never coming back to this dump,"  and flip him off. 
The drawer was chock full of quarters. 
ABUNDANCE!!  So close!! But so far.
South Beach locals!!  We all need to band together and fight for our right to have change. 
Join me.

And, while I'm on the annoying topic of people who want give up their change... let's move on to another instance I'm sure you are all know and have experienced.
How about when you are taking a taxi and at the very end of the journey, when, by the way, you are probably already terrifically late, you whip out your ten dollar bill and they reply, "I don't have change!"
What?
"What do you mean you don't have change?," I always think. 
You are in the business of making change, and so if you start your business, with none, well then, I am going to go out on a limb and say your business probably sucks.....  I mean, you are a taxi driver??!! How is this possible??

The last thing I want to do is run into a crappy convenience store with eyeliner and some gay outfit on my way to twist to get your ass some change.  So to all you cabbies, GET CHANGE, or I'm gonna buy a scooter.

CIAO!!

Love,
