This is a rant as well as my solution.
RANT: People who choose to have their meetings in the break room. Then when you enter they all stop and stare at you like you are intruding. I just walked in to get a bag of chips and a soda and they all stopped and looked at me. I recognized 2 directors, 1 guy whom I think is a VP and several other managers.
My Solution: I put my $2 back into my pocket, went back to my desk and started rifling through my change. I keep a little chest on my desk (yes, it looks like a chest you'd find in a dungeon) and I keep change in it. Whenever I go to lunch I pay with bills. When I get back I empty my pocket into that so that I don't clink when I walk around.
Anyway, I went back in. They stared at me and stopped their meeting. I proceeded to get a bag of chips ($.95) and a Mr. Pibb ($1.35) using nothing but nickels. Took me a while, too.
Bonus: The bag of chips got stuck so I beat on the machine until they fell.
