Bitch is lucky I can't fit through the drive thru window.

When I talk, I use the thru version though.

Incidentally, why do you use both instances of the word "through"? Thought you Americans only used the short, WRONG way of spelling it, being so lazy/busy...

A ****ing penny? A cent, here? You've got to be kidding me. Most places won't even bother giving you the penny back if that's all you're due, and if you walk up with 99 cents for a euro item or are short one lousy cent they'll not bat an eye and just take what you have. ****ing Americans.

When you work for a company its their money, their till and it's monitored so it has to be exact. You go to a mom and pop type corner store then they might let you slide.
