The benefits are modest but after claiming a couple of free tickets to the movies with soda and popcorn I reduced my pride even further and started picking up caps from the street.
More movie tickets and magazine subscriptions have made me fairly bold but occasionally I still hesitate as I did this weekend, when I spied a cap while exiting a busy Hess station. It was directly at the feet of a rough looking young man who was draped over a parking pillar, sucking on a cigarette as if it were an inhaler. I paused and as usual decided, "What the heck."
He watched me closely as I leaned down to retrieve the cap then nodded and said, "Uhn-huh, take all you kin git, girl."
I nodded at him. Thaz right!
