Last week I stopped by the office supply to replace a
printer cartridge. They’ve recently remodeled and NOTHING is where it used to
be. I’d have asked for directions, but there seemed to be only two employees present.
One was manning the register, the other was helping a tablet customer. I
eventually found the cartridge and paid in cash. I took $5.25 in change and did
a double-take. The “quarter” he’d handed me was gold with a tree on one side
and 250 on the other. I handed it back but by this time he’d closed his till. He
asked tablet man how to open it again without a sale. “You can’t,” he said. “A
manager has to do it.” Then they just looked at each other. Did they pay for
the remodel by firing all the workers? So I pocketed 250 Lebanese pounds.
Before you get excited, it’s worth about 22 cents. If you can exchange it.
