12:30 a.m.: "The coffee is comped because I had to wait."

Really? OK. I wasn't about to argue.

OK, I guess that'll be one dollar.

She proceeded to pay with three dimes, five nickels and 55 pennies, then apologized to the four sets of rolling eyes behind her. The set in front of her did not roll.
