So, I bought a gas station breakfast this morning that totaled $3.57. I gave the guy $4.00 cash. He gave me $0.35 change. I started to walk out the store, and then proceeded back to his register when I counted my change. I went back and politely asked for the rest of my change. He gave me a dime and then said, "have a nice day" with a little attitude thrown in.

Was I unreasonable? It's the principle of the matter.

Not unreasonable.

9/28/2012 11:55:31 AM

fuck pennies and nickels

9/28/2012 11:56:09 AM

Uh. You're crazy.

9/28/2012 11:56:29 AM

I can't remember the last time i saw change.

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

Did you give him the 2 cents you owed him after that?

I dont think I would have gone back for that small change. Mistakes happen. Maybe he was just annoyed that you came back for so little change.

9/28/2012 12:09:54 PM

So, you are one of those types

I probably wouldn't want to be your friend.

9/28/2012 12:17:28 PM

he probably gave you the dime bc he wasn't sure how off he was with the change he gave you. *shrug*

9/28/2012 12:19:09 PM

Exactly, you a cheap mofo. Never picking up the tab, wait for somebody else to buy a pitcher, eat other people's nachos, yet you work and make the same wage as everyone else that you are out with.

Wages should have nothing to do with splitting a bill.

9/28/2012 12:23:57 PM

^^how does that tie in to asking for the correct amount of change?

9/28/2012 12:25:47 PM

people still use cash?

9/28/2012 12:26:06 PM

what were the deleted posts? that's more interesting to me than some smelly pennies.

9/28/2012 12:26:10 PM

I barely look at the paper change I get back, much less the shit that jingles.

And no, it's not because I'm a badass. I just don't care.

9/28/2012 12:30:05 PM

I don't hold onto change, I don't know where it goes exactly but I don't keep it

9/28/2012 12:33:56 PM

Yes, pretty unreasonable.


Choose your battles.


That 8 cents cost you more in mental anguish than the 8 cents is worth.

9/28/2012 12:35:11 PM

^ always count your change when that guy delivers your pizza

what change? You don't get change when I deliver a pizza.

9/28/2012 1:02:56 PM

i would have did the same thing just on principle that i wasnt going to let the person have my hard earned money

9/28/2012 1:08:00 PM

I guess I don't understand what is so hard about making 43 cents change vs 35. i mean for shit's sake, 41 cents is one of each coin. how hard is that to figure out in your head?

would I have gone back for it? probably not

were you unreasonable because you went back for it? no

9/28/2012 1:10:58 PM

You bought a gas station breakfast?

That's unreasonable.

^^^ agreed.

And just because you want your correct change doesn't mean you're cheap all around. I always pay my fair share of rental car splits and hotel splits and buying rounds of drinks etc. However, when it comes to someone charging my card for more than they were supposed to or not giving me correct change I usually follow up. Just my mentality.

bullshit son

gas station taquerias here are the truth for breakfast tacos

but i only go to mexican gas stations

and never spend more than 2 bucks

[Edited on September 28, 2012 at 1:15 PM. Reason : but i live close to mexico]

9/28/2012 1:15:14 PM

not unreasonable

9/28/2012 1:17:33 PM

You did all this and still did not get correct change.


ALSO THIS IS 2012 who carries cash?

9/28/2012 1:22:48 PM

Not unreasonable. A waste of time for the amount of money? Yes, as not only did you walk back for it but then had to make a thread on TWW regarding the matter.

In that amount of time you probably could have found a quarter in your couch and been up $cents.

scotieb24 was the only one who considered he didn't have any pennies and nickels. He could have rounded to the nearest 10 cents in his favor.

and if you said anything about he, he'd give you 10 cents.

but if you ask for the 8 cents, you're a petty douchebag.

So in hindsight, him having an attitude about it makes sense.

9/28/2012 1:33:17 PM

always easy to tell who has never had to truly put in a hard day's work

"CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES"

This was one not worth choosing. Even out of principle. The poor guy works at a gas station and you are bitching to him about your pennies. Cut him some slack.

9/28/2012 1:45:33 PM

Especially in the mornings when it gets so busy and they're trying their best to ring everyone up as quick as they can.

That's usually the case with QuickTrip, not sure anywhere else.

9/28/2012 1:48:47 PM

I did not give him the 2 cents. The mental anguish is killing me.

9/28/2012 1:53:00 PM

haha it's not really a "battle" to ask for correct change. Pick your battles is true, but that only applies to battles, and asking for your correct change doesn't apply. I mean if the guy said no then I wouldn't pursue it any further because THAT isn't worth it.

You should bring it back.

9/28/2012 1:53:45 PM

This is why I am nice as hell to the kids that work fast food and don't give them any shit. Those jobs SUCK.

9/28/2012 1:55:45 PM

GET YOU SOME change DAWG!

9/28/2012 1:59:03 PM

Broke ass niggas. ITT.

9/28/2012 2:01:56 PM

I wouldn't call it unreasonable, but you were definitely acting like a faggot.

Gas station attendant's job to make change, not OP's.

9/28/2012 2:13:15 PM

I don't count coins when I get them as change.

If you short me, big whoop.

If I gave him $100 for a $3.57 breakfast then yes, I would count and make sure that I got the correct paper currency back.

9/28/2012 2:22:01 PM

the cashier may have known he was short a few cents in his drawer, so he was trying to make it up by shorting you a few pennies so he doesn't have a headache later on.

9/28/2012 2:23:19 PM

the best is when you purchase something somewhere with a 10 or a 20

and they hand you back the same amount you gave them


I just kinda take it and go :3

that's only happened maybe 3 times ever but still
