1] Tips from the Peanut Gallery!

From Larry: when sitting at the Tim's wndow, always have Mother on speakerphone to encourage you with gentle, subtle proddings such as the following: "LOOK ON THE GROUND UNDER THE WINDOW!!!!! LOOK ON THE GROUND LARRY!!! EVERY ONE DROPS MONEY THERE!!! LOOK ON THE GROUND UNDER THE WINDOW!!!!!" no one will EVER look at you funny when THAT'S going on...

From Kim: it seems to me that the bigger the parking lot, and the further people have to walk to put the cart back, the more people will leave them lying about rather than trudging them back to the cart thingy. by putting them away, you thereby obtain a]money, and b]exercise!

2] Strange and/or Relevant Questions I have Received!

Stacey: if someone gives you too much change back, does it count?
A: YES! if the money is money you would not have normally received, and is a result of someone being nice to you because you're cute and your kid is cute, throw it on the pile!
