Big Dopey Kid pays for his purchase and the change is $4.97.....pays with a $10.
It is the height of the morning rush and my till is a little light on $1 because I have been ringing register and haven't filled the safe yet....
(Actual conversation follows)
BDK: HEY! You didn't give me the right change!
ME: Correct...I gave you a $5 when you were due $4.97. I gave you more money.
BDK: BUT that is MY change and I want the $0.97 that you owe me.
ME: I don't owe you $0.97 because I added three pennies to your change to make it $5 and I put a $5 in your hand.
BDK: BUT I NEED that $0.97....it is mine.
The customer in line behind BDK hands him some coins and tells him to be on his way because all those men behind him are gonna be late for work.
Kind man says to me...."freakin scary that one day that big dopey kid is gonna grow up and make decisions that affect those of us who can do math."
