Sounds like they are cheating people.
i'm never good at fights :P plus they are just fresh graduates from the university, i think. maybe i just didn't see the sign indicating they don't give out exact change *sigh* D:

If they are fresh graduates then they should be thouroughly capable of making correct change. Ask about the policy and express your displeasure, and the fact that you only cam in a second time to see if the experience from the first time was repeated. They should want repeat customers, and if their policy IS to not give exact change that should be posted quite prominantly so that you have the option of walking out before ordering, thus depriving them of a sale.

Or carry a whole bunch of change with you, and give them the exact amount.

Preferably in lots of small coins!

Noosa, good sir, is not a bad place to do that if I do say so myself. It gets a tad cooler in winter, though the southerners still come up here and swim, but summer swimming time tends to last about 6 months.

As for DST, we don't have it in Queensland. A lot of southeast Queensland people would like it. Me, having come from a state that had it...well, I like like watching the sun vary its rising and setting times progressively through the year, giving a sense of the change of the seasons without the jump in times. It keeps reminding me of the Big Outside that moves on no matter what's happening inside myself. So, I'm a "No" voter for implementing DST here, but there's a lot of "Yes" folk.

Cheers,
Marc
What a great argument for dispensing with DST. I wish we didn't have it here.

This too will pass. Soon you will have time to read a novel or something other than a text book.

Imagine putting your feet up after it is all over reading something light! here's a nice place. Shall I order you a drink?

Well one thing the recent european time change did was to shift the time BBC News is broadcast here so now it is the same time as the local news and my pseudo-tivo can only record one channel

That's my argument for dispensing with it!
