Honest market

WKRN-TV followed recording artist Ginny Owens, who has been blind since the age of two, when she recently visited several local stores to see whether the merchants would give her correct change. I'm happy to report that an unnamed neighborhood retailer did the right thing:
"The fourth stop was at a local market in Sylvan Park. Once more, the staff was honest, giving Ginny the exact right change for her $20 bill. She says she keeps track of smaller denominations once she breaks a bill by being prepared and knowing what’s what. "
If anyone has more details to share about Owens' stop in the neighborhood, please share.
