When I was a runaway I had a friend who worked at a convenience store. Actually I had a lot of those through the years. One time he was running short on pennies and asked me if I could run around and try and buy him a few rolls. I went to a couple places and came upon this submarine sandwich shop that sold me a couple rolls. As I was leaving the guy told me to stop by his downtown store in the morning. I took back the pennies to Andy and as requested I showed up. When I walked in Chris was there and he asked me if I was hungry and I said yes and he told me to order anything I wanted. I ordered burger deluxe which came with fries and a coke. I sat down to eat and Chris sat down and told me he had 8 large jars of pennies and if I wanted to roll them he would give me half. He also said food and drinks were free. How could I say no . The jars of pennies were the hot pepper jars they used on the subs and it took me all that day and part of the next to get them all rolled. And I got food and drinks free His partner also gave me free smokes. My cut of that was over $210.00. And I was given a job at the store I met him at.
