Nice touch ...

Might be on my own here, but I just hate small change ... so there's a jar in the kitchen with loads of small coins. Problem is with this is that I just end up picking more and more of it as I never have change (of less than £1 denominations) on me when I'm out and about buying stuff.

So, pleasant suprise when I droppped into Esso to get some sweets. They had a little tray saying: "Short of a penny or two ... just help yourself" ... with 1p, 2p and 5p pieces in it. Idea is that visitors drop their change in it: a sort of each driver helps one another thing.

My bill came to 1.04p ... meaning ordinarily that I would walk out with 96p in change; but not this time ... not a big thing but a nice touch.
