If hypothetically you went to the machine and your wallet was unexpectedly empty, and you noticed the corner of a bill poking out from under the machine, would you rather it be a $1 bill (and you get to buy M&Ms) or it be a $5 bill (and you don't get M&Ms)?
"Would you rather it be a $1 bill (and you get to buy M&Ms) or it be a $5 bill (and you don't get M&Ms)?"
Depends on the person and how they value money/M&Ms.
I do feel confident saying that ANY person in that situation would be less happy finding that $5 then latter finding $5 under there couch while vacuuming.
Well put.
