BOB had another copay

BOB had another copay

This time the copay was $10.00 -

BOB gave the twenty-something female clerk a twenty-dollar bill.

The twenty-something female clerk said - "Do you have a ten?"

BOB said -

"Sweetie, if I had a ten - I would have given you a ten.  All I have is a twenty."

The twenty-something female clerk said -

"I don't have change for a twenty.  I'll be right back."

And then she left and went across the way to another office to get change.

While she was gone -

BOB thought -
  • You don't have change for a twenty?

  • Let's see - most doctor visits require copays.

  • And most copays are ten dollars.

  • What happened to all of the copays that you got from all of the other people sitting out here in the waiting room?

  • Where are they?

  • Did the people "charge" them - or use a "debit" card?

  • You didn't tell me that I could "charge" it - or use a "debit" card.

  • I gave you cash and you don't have change?

  • Good grief!


After a while - the twenty-something female clerk came back.

And gave BOB her change for a twenty - 

ONE five - 

THREE ones - 

and EIGHT quarters

It was probably all those quarters that took so long to find, huh?



But then again - it's probably just me.

I try to pay my copays with a check. If they'll take it. Some doctors won't any more. What the heck? It's just what works for me - maybe they could take my chekc, endorse it and give it to you for change? :)
