There is a incident reported this morning on Metro DC radio.
The guy took his pregnant wife thru a drive-thru and got food for $4.25. He gave the girl $5.25 hoping she would give him a dollar back. The girl stated that he had given her too much money. He told her yes, he wanted a $1 dollar back. She said couldn’t do that and went and got her manager. The manager told him no and gave him his original quater plus 75 cents back in change.
I do that sometimes, just for amusement.
I had that a similar experience in Alexandria VA. I gave the extra change to make a whole dollar and the cashier said, "We can't do that." I said, "Sure you can." He went and asked his manager.
I got my dollar.
Yesterday i went into walmart and the total was 55.26. I gave her 65.26.
Her: you gave me too much.
me: Yea i want 10 back.
She proceeds to give me back 9 dollars and 26 cents even after having punched it into the cash register. The end result was me having 9 ones and a dollar in change.
That is nothing of course from what happened at McDonalds a week earlier.
I order a big and tasty meal and 2 chicken wraps. She punches in a grilled chicken sandwich meal, 2 large drinks, and 2 large fries. I give her my money and start adding it up in my head noticing the total is way off i ask to see the recipt (they always throw them away and don’t give them to you at this mcDonalds.) I see what is on there and tell her. Once she finally got it “right” she tells me i have to pay again and begins argueing with me. She finally calls over her manager. The manager gave me back a dollar and 2 cents without even looking at the totals. She wouldn’t give me the recipt because they had already thrown the new one away. I finally just left not caring about the 3 or so dollars.
