Another one on me

[Imogene]

Oogh, I'm starting to turn nasty this holiday season, apparently...

Went to Jack in the Box today to grab some lunch.
Ordered my #5, medium, with the cheesy macaroni bites, and got lectured from the cashier for not making it clear I wanted the bites INSTEAD of fries.
H: "Next time, say, 'I'd like to substitute the macaroni bites for the fries'."
All I could think was, "Why? You're the first cashier I've ever run into here who didn't understand when I said that, you ungrateful harridan."

As I waited for my order to come up, I realized I had told myself to try the mini churros the next time I was in, and it was still dead while I waited, so I ordered a 5 pack. My total for the churros? $1.08 I handed her a dollar and a quarter and three pennies. She handed me back change, and I looked at it, and went, "I'm not sure that's right... I gave you $1.28, I should've gotten two dimes back... you gave me $.16."
Yup, you get petty with me, I'll return it right back. Sure, it's four cents, and I might've let it go, had she not been pissy with me.

Nah, petty would be asking if she could read her little monitor thingie because perhaps she should've noticed the correct change is twenty cents and that perhaps she should rely on the monitor more instead of trying to do simple math in her head.

Yeah, petty would be getting snarky back at the cashier. You didn't do that, you had the perfectly reasonable expectation of receiving correct change and were polite about it. So good for you. If the cashier who annoyed you was irritated by your perfectly reasonable expectation...well that's karma

Even better? She tried to defend her change by saying, "You gave me a quarter."
Why, yes, yes I did, plus three pennies so I would get twenty cents back. Even still, if you were only giving me change from a quarter, you shorted me a penny. Either way, you're wrong.
Then she tried to blame a lack of change in her drawer on the wrong change. To which I say, 'That's nice...'
