You know. Those little cups at the register with a few pennies in them to help those short or to make correct change?
Here in SoCal I seem to see them everywhere.
How about your area?

7. I put all my pennies from change in them.
I seem to have quite a collection of pennies here at maveric headquarters so I give mine away now.
It works out nicely.

with letting people out in traffic. If I'm in a rush, I don't let anyone go!

11. I'm not sure
We can finally get alcohol in the grocery store, and I haven't been to a liquor store in ages.

And now that I'm thinking about it, I use my debit card almost everywhere so I don't really notice.
