Years ago....

I used to work at the top of the John Hancock Building.  I loved that job.  Most of the time I could do my homework (I was in college at the time) because it got cloudy during the winter and no one would pay to come up and look at the clouds.

Most of the people that would come up into the building were tourists.  And many didn't even know English and didn't understand our currency.  So they would pull money out of their wallets and say  "How much?"

I realized that I could've robbed so many people blind.  They often put $100, $50, $20 dollar bills in their hands and say which one?  And I could've just taken the $100 and said "Thanks!"

But since I'm basically an honest person I didn't and I would only take what was needed to pay for the items they bought.  I can't imagine going to another country and trusting the person behind the register to take the correct amount without cheating me.  Every time that I have traveled overseas I have had someone with me that was able to help me out in the currency department.  I wish that everyone else had the same help with them.

Maybe the few of you that read this will learn from their mistakes and will help others in their travels.
