Which Windows? My south-facing ones?

Surely Florida residents are all aware that the entire state is within the 100-mile freedom exclusion zone.

These are likely not the drab, standard, facility-provided surgical or operating scrubs that even the I.T. staff has to change in to (or don over top) before crossing the red line into a clean zone, ‘red’ room or room with isolation precautions. These are the other personally-supplied garments staff wear to look professional in a medical setting. These are the same ones that are sometimes replaced with T-shirts and such on casual friday or department-coordinated Hallowe’en costumes on October 31.

This is a fun opportunity to share that mainline church teachings consider each tiny drop or fragment of the precious blood and sacred host to contain Christ entirely. It’s not exactly blood here, guts there.

What am I going to do, put the $20 back in my pocket? No, that’s a dick move. I see that they’re acting like they’re in a rush. Pocketing the paper money will only slow down the transaction.

It’s a lose-lose scenario, just like the grandparent commenter suggests.

How do I know the total until I’m given it?

The store knows which items are taxed and which ones aren’t.

I get you, but cashiers are trained to be impatient and never wait for me to pull my change purse out to round it up, even if I tell them there’s more coming.

This is how it typically goes:

Cashier: Your total is $10.50. Me, handing them $20: Here, hang on to this, I’ve got some change. Cashier snatches the money, enters $20.00 in the machine and stuffs it in the drawer as I fish out the appropriate change. Me, as they are in the midst of gathering a large amount of change from the drawer: Here you go. Cashier, interrupted during their change counting, furrows their brows at me as if I just tried to pull a fast one on them.

It can’t be a quick change scheme if you haven’t given me my change yet. Just don’t be in such a rush.

I have no experience in this specific matter, but you could look up how to switch the sector size from 512 bytes to 4096 and, you know, just do the opposite.
