Ain’t this the truth!! Sadly it is here up north.

Golfer walks into the pro shop at the Vegreville course and asks the golf pro if they sell ball markers.



The golf pro says they do, and they are $1.00.


The guy gives the golf pro a dollar.



The golf pro opens the register, puts the dollar in, and hands him a dime to use as the marker.



This economic model is also used by governments.

If Sanders or Warren get it, you will be lucky to get a nickel back...

Why do you think the government is still minting pennies?

Not up here in the north of America. Smallest now minted is the nickel (largest is the toonie.)

Our local grocery will accept your change, and for every dollar give you back 90 cents. Sounds like a deal to me.... I don't know why people don't just bring a bagful of change to pay for their groceries.

Not geared up for those who put the dollar in.

When I ran a farm stand we had to buy change from the bank. Most people just use bills, so we were almost always giving out change. The largest movers were quarters and pennies. I had to buy a $500 box of quarters at the beginning of the season. That box was heavy.

We had a simple coin sorter so it isn't that hard to separate the coins by value and take them to the bank. My bank credits me with the whole amount if I bring them rolled coins.

Sanders and Warren will both say golf courses represent inequality and will be closed EXCEPT for members of their ruling class.

Nickels are too thick to use as a ball marker.

Why not leave the ball where it is? If the other guy has to go around it, well that's the way it goes. Combine golf with croquet.
