A chatter of excited noises at the plaza near an affluent Atlanta theater implied teenagers doing their “hanging out” routine and playing cool. Teenaged girls with plunging necklines and rising hemlines teased the guys with wrinkled shorts from really old old navy. Puppy love was in the air as hormones jostled for the opposite sex’s attention. The guy in blue wanted his wallet from the girl in pink. She threw it at him and a shower of quarters and dimes hit the pavement. Neither gave it a second look and rushed away. Nor did anyone glance at the enriched pavement for a solid twenty minutes. Finally a bored boyfriend waiting for his late girlfriend (as always) caught the glint of the coins in the setting sun’s light. He stooped down to gather them up as his girlfriend arrived. She didn’t hesitate to stuff her bounty into her already engorged purse. They will pay a little less from their pocket for the Spidey flick.
Free money evokes similar behavior anywhere. But does it really matter?

The last question foxed me. And is it really similar behaviour - the motivation, urgency seems so different.
