Trash Back

剛來美國讀書的時候，覺得這裏可以在超市用ATM卡付帳順便取點現金這一條真方便。有一次就有了下麵的對話。

Cashier: Did you find everything all right?
Me: Sure.
Cashier: Credit or Debit?
Me: Debit. By the way, I want some trash back.
Cashier: #$%#$#?!??!
看著他一副茫然的樣子，我趕快把剛才的對話在心裏回放了一遍，再加上語法和拚寫檢查。哦，天哪！
Me: Sorry, I mean "cash back", not "trash back".
Cashier: Oh. That's all right. How much do you want?
......

打那以後，我就牢牢地分清了cash和trash這兩個單詞 :)
