Something One Would Never See in Chicago

Yesterday, I was standing in line, waiting to check out, at the grocery store, when the elderly woman in front of me pulled 20 Euros out of her wallet and handed the wallet, along with the 20, to the cashier. The cashier then took out the 8 Euros and 95 cents that the woman still owed, counting it out to the cent, and handed the wallet back along with the receipt.
