Drivethru dilemma

So, we've all had those days when we're sitting in the drivethru waiting for the endless line to proceed to get your food. While you're waiting, you dig thru the seats to find the change to pay for your order. Normally, when paying in change, you hand the worker a random assortment of quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies. If they're lucky, they may get the rare dollar bill. There are the rare occasions, however, that the poor person on the other side of the window gets a handful of only pennies. If you're thinking ahead, like we were on this night, you will look around the house to find something to contain the change. A ziploc works wonders in this situation. In our case, tho, we did not have a single ziploc in the house. So, what do you do in this dilemma? Well, if you're in a chemistry lab that semester, you've got to have disposable gloves laying around the house/dorm. Just grab one and dump your change in it. Not only will you ease the job of the worker trying to catch all the coins, you may make their day. In the words of the person taking our change, "that is the most random thing I've ever seen". Thanks and love.
