Along almost the same lines at the grocery store with the food carts and you have to pay for them and then get your money back. I have finished using the cart and handed it off to someone and said just pass it on. I am wondering how many people get to use my cart with my quarter or did the person right after me take my quarter and run...lol.....

When i was a teenager, i worked for a grocery store called Piggly Wiggly ( i know, Laugh it up)
for entertainment at the night shift we would superglue a quarter to the floor near the registers.
You will be surprised at what people will do, the will try to pick it up, then kneel down to get better leverage, maybe kick it, i have seen a lady in a mink coat on her knees with a key trying to pry it off the floor.
they might not do it for a peen or nickel, but almost EVERYBODY will try to get the quarter..
well worth the .25¢ for entertainment on lunch or breaktime..
Just an added idea for the retired people to liven up their day.
Post it on youtube, get a bunch of hits, maybe sponsorship and a little cash..

She was ticketed or arrested for it. I don't remember which. But the cops were kinda on mankinds craplist while that was going on. Poor little old lady being picked on by the police.

they do to make their days interesting.
Well, for example, the other day, Marilyn my wife and I
went downtown and visited a shop.
When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.
We went up to him and I said, 'Come on, man,
how about giving a senior citizen a break?'
He ignored us and continued writing the ticket.
I called him an asshole . He glared at me and started
writing another ticket for having worn-out tires.
So Marilyn called him a shit head. He finished the
second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.
Then he started writing more tickets.
This went on for about 20 minutes.
The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.
Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it
and went home.
We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired.
It's important at our age.
