Toll Plazas Anger Me

In my experience, toll plazas are a terrible place to spend a $2 note if one is looking for an interesting response. The sheer volume of cash that toll-takers handle is so amazing. They’ve seen it all. They don’t care. Our Belgian Correspondent learned that.
“Toll road:
Price: $3
Paid: One $2 note, One $1 note
Response: I was looking for unique circumstances to spend my last bills. My husband, the driver, handed the lady a 1 and a 2-dollar note. The lady accepted the notes without a wink. The light turned green. We didn’t drive away, still looking at her eagerly for any reaction whatsoever. Her only reaction was irritation: the light was green, we had to move away!”
