The rest of the story?

I received a call this morning from a convenience store employee who thought the comment in the Lizzy's Lines column might have been from an experience this person had. Evidently, a couple kids came in and wanted to cash in their pennies but instead of outright denying them, the employee worked with them for a while stacking them in piles of 10 and cashed in the pennies for dollars, but then the kids took the dollars to go see what they could buy at Duckwall's. They didn't spend any money at the convenience store.
The story in the column was a bit different, so maybe it was a different situation.
