OK, so I told this story to Mike Parker and Jason Bristol Sunday evening, and it sounds like something right out of Seinfeld.
So, do you remember that episode where Jerry's going to buy a car and George goes along with him? George was so hungry, so he goes to buy a candy bar. Of course, "the only candy with the cookie crunch," a Twix bar, didnt want to "jump." So, George went hungry. If you've watched the episode, it gets a little more complicated and hilarious than that, but you get the jist.
Well, that Seinfeld episode leads well into my story...
Every once in a while I'll buy a chocolate milk from the vending machine in the CBS 21 lunchroom. I usually dont have the exact 75 cents change, so I use a dollar. Unfortuntately, when my milk "jumps," my 25 cents of change doesnt always follow. Sunday evening this is exactly what happened.
And, this is not an isolated incident - it's happened the last 3 times I've bought milk.
Now, I could understand if most of the drinks had been bought already and the machine just ran out of change. But, that's not the case. The machine is fully-stocked. So, why isnt the change stocked up as well?
What else can I do but put a note on the machine asking for my 25 cents back. And, put a 2nd note there warning others that they wont be getting any change anytime soon.
Oh, and before I forget, the chocolate milk, it was gooooooood!
