URBANA — A man paid for his order at Crabill's Hamburger Shoppe using exact change counted twice onto the counter, then once more into his palm, as if the transaction were being reviewed by a grand jury of dimes.
"I don't like owing anybody," he said, including, apparently, the concept of a nickel.
Witnesses said the line behind him practiced the Champaign County virtue of staring at a wall until the moral crisis resolved.
