the Yiddishe Mamme
I had to go to the post office to take care of a couple things, including paying a bill.
I told the clerk what I needed to do. She thought for a minute, and then said why do that? If you do it like this...(and she goes on to describe a slightly different process), you will save 3 Shekels!
Unfortunately I could not do what she suggested, as I did not have what I needed to do it with me. When I told her that, she said ok, go get it and come back. I laughed and said just to do it for the extra 3 shekels, as today is the last day I could do this specific transaction without a penalty, and could not do the alternative method until tomorrow...

that's like the time my mother was staying at the Inbal in J-m (for my wedding I believe). She called down to say she needed an item of clothing pressed. The operator literally yelled at her "But it's so expensive! Why would you want to do that?"
