Bubble Gum Bribery

Santa was so clever this year. He gave our kids a bubble gum machine that is to be used specifically for good deeds. Everytime Eden, Indy or Olivia does something kind, helpful or unexpected without thought of reward, they get a coin. That coin is then spent on the bubble gum machine. They think it is awesome. I have had many volunteers for chores but they can't just earn it, they have to get it spontaneously from me when I deem it worthy. When do you think they will catch on that it is a gumball???

One of these....

Equals this!!

Thanks for the "last minute" invite. I'm sure glad I said something when I ran into you. It was great!
P.S. Are Register Rewards instantaneous? Are they applied to the receipt that is ringing up, or the next one?
Thanks, again!
