Hello all!

I work in a supermarket and today I feared I am losing my sanity!

I served a customer the transaction total was £5.64.
The customer paid me a £10 note and 54p in coins... so, I began to count out the change. £4.90 right?

I then said to the customer...

'Sorry it £5.64 not £5.54. Do you want to give me another 10p and then you will get a £5 note change?'.
'Ok, I'll give you another £1' the customer said.

Just to recap... that now takes the total they have given me to £11.54. Correct? I hope so!
Now, I then took a £5 note out for change and 90p. When I went to give this to the customer they argued that I was giving them too much change!

After the customer was very blunt and rude to me and going thorough the transaction details several times they left with the money commenting...
'The supermarket takings are going to be down but I'm sure they can afford the mistake'.

Now it's not surprising I hate and loathe my job but things like this make doubt if I'm losing my mind!

Someone please tell me I'm right? Haha!

You're right, customer is stupid :)

You should have opened the till and said "Help yourself!"...

The slammed in on their fingers when they put their grubby little mitts anywhere near it!

All that for a few pennies! Amazing!

Then again, you know what I'm like with money... I think people just care too much about petty little things sometimes!

U could have good lunch with that change

With 10p? Only if you count a Freddo as a good lunch!

Moomin, why have you put this in Humor & Comedy?

I wasn't sure where to put it really...
I thought it was amusing little anecdote if nothing else!

You did well to bite your lip, I would have had to shout "IT WASN'T A MISTAKE!" after them!

... and that's why I'm not in public services! Ha ha!

"Blessed is the man who, having nothing to stay, abstains from giving us worthy evidence of the fact."

I really really did have to bite my lip... I just don't understand why people think you're stupid if you work behind a till!

Yeah I don't think it'd be a good idea for you to go into my line of work!
Hehe!
