I am fed up with people coming in just to get us to break $20's, $50's, and $100's. I have started telling them sorry I can't break it. If they push the issue I tell them that we are not a bank.
Two guys came in saturday, one asked me to break a $20. I said sorry I couldn't do it. The guy right behind him asks for a pack of smokes, and I tell him the price, he hands me a $5 and I start counting out the change. He asks me to break a $20 for him. I tell him sorry can not do that. He goes to take the $5 back and says then use the $20 to pay for the smokes. I picked up the $5 before him and said nope. Handed him his change and closed my drawer.
A week or so ago a guy came in and wanted me to break a $100, I told him I couldnt as I had just dropped most of my cash. He grabs a pack of $0.30 gum and hands it and the $100 to me. I just looked at him and asked what part of I cant give change for that didn't he understand?
The funniest change story I have heard/seen was what an old co-worker did to a customer. This guy would come in late at night and get anywhere from $5 to $20 in gas and always paid with a $100.
OCW told him over and over again that he didnt carry change for big bills late at night. This guy wouldnt listen, so OCW finally got even, guy came in and got $5 in gas and handed over a $100. OCW came inside, grabbed $95 in $1's and went ouside. He came in and said the guy told him he didnt want that many $1's and OCW told him thats good because he had told him many times that he couldnt give change for a $100 that late and that now on when he paid with a $100 he would get all $1's back. The guy said thats bullshit and he would never come back. To this day the guy has not been back.
