Reusable Money

Today, I went to buy a chocolate milk from the vending machine in the coffee shop. However, the paper money feeder wasn't working, so I got change (3 quarters, 2 dimes, 1 nickel) from the guy working the register. I put in the latter 3 coins, and it returned all of them, but showed a credit of 20 cents. I put the dimes in again, and it showed a credit of 40 cents. I continued reusing the dimes until a $1 credit was reached, and it dispensed my milk. I walked over to the guy at the register with the chocolate milk in one hand, and my change in the other, informing him that the machine was broken. He thanked me for my honesty, told me he wouldn't take my money, and to enjoy the free chocolate milk. I've never had 2 dimes work so hard for me!

how honest. You know what I would have done? Bought it and then tried to return it.
