I think someone tried a quick-change scam on the cashier I was with yesterday.
He comes up from the front of the store with a twenty during a rush and asks for "ten fives". Not "a ten and fives" he clearly said "ten fives". Cashiers generally aren't allowed to make change without a sale (an exception is if the same customer has just completed a purchase and decides they want smaller bills), but the drawer is open anyway so the cashier decides to do it. He takes the twenty, and gives one ten and two fives (while still holding the twenty out of the guy's reach) then puts it in and shuts the drawer.
Guy stands there for a minute until A tells him to move along and clear the other lane for paying customers. He goes up to customer service and I hear: "You asked for and got change for a 20, what's the problem here?"
