A couple of weeks ago, I went down to hypernova, which is my normal routine during the week to get lunch. The weekend before this day I just got back from our ESI Thanksgivng retreat and we were encouraged to be a light to everyone(even though we can't speak the language), even to people in the supermarket or people that we pass on the street. I was getting ready to check out and I decided to go to through this one lady's line. I know that when my teammates have gone to her before she was really cranky with them. On this day I decided that I was going to try to be a light to her and make her day, I was just hoping to smile at her. This lady rang me up and she told me how much it was in Czech. So i handed her 100kc and she started to tell me in Czech that it was too dirty and that she couldn't take it from me. I didn't know what what to say...in reality i just wanted to say "Are you serious?It barely has any dirt on it", but i knew i didn't know that in Czech. So I asked her in czech "is this a big problem?" and she continued to tell me that on the back of my 100kc bill it was too dirty. It was the crazies thing i have ever heard of. I have never had that experience before. I could understand if it was a larger bill like 1,000kc but it was 100kc. I also told her that i got it from the bank, the guy behind me told me to take it back to the bank, at least that is what i thought it said. So I paid the lady with some different coins that I had. That is my crazy story for you.....So a word of advice make sure your money is clean before you use it-)
