What Are the Chances?

First off, we don’t know when this story took place, but it must have been a while ago because video stores aren’t really a thing anymore. I don’t know about you, but I miss the times before streaming services when we used to go to the local video store with our parents and choose one movie to watch.

Maybe this father and his daughter decided to rent a movie that night to celebrate the daughter’s first paycheck. That’s a milestone that calls for a celebration! I think the biggest question here is why did the OP say $898.58 – out of all the numbers he could think of? That’s a very specific number! Seriously, what are the chances of that happening?
