BTW very sorry to read of you not being given change.
We should clarify this, when retired VSP, said that he got 'no change' he meant that he just got Canadian change, he didn't get American change.
I am continually amazed that American tourists expect their money to be accepted everywhere, when in their own country, foreign money is thrown back! I often hear very loud arguments (one sided) in our stores downtown, with the phrase 'funny money' being thrown around.
