Wasn't sure whether to put this as sidewalk or a fastlane funny (it made me laugh) but here it is.

Guess what I witnessed the other day? A woman returned a vegetable to the grocery store for 77 cents. She didn't purchase anything else, no! She went to the grocery store to get a refund on something for 77 cents and only for this reason. She was waiting in line for at least 2 minutes. I have no idea where exactly she lived, but I bet she was at least 5 minutes walk minimum from the store.

It took this woman 10-12 minutes to make 77cents. This woman therefor must value her time at $4.62 per hour maximum. That's not even half of minimum wage here.

EDIT: I even got the maths wrong and made it look bad.
