I thought that when the clerk at the checkout asked, "would you like cash back?" That you could say yes and they would just give you cash straight out of the register for nothing lol.

I figured that most people were very honest and didn't need the money, so they would just say no thanks and leave it in the register for somebody who really did need it.

Similarly, I thought one could get more money by asking for change. You give one bill, you get more bills and coins in return, it's gotta be more, right?

I thought grownups got paid every day and โ€œpay dayโ€ was just a special day when you got more money.
