A customer wants to pay for a thirty euro purchase with a hundred-euro note.
Me: “Do you have a smaller note? I’m only carrying smaller change in my till.”
Customer: “No. It’s legal tender so you have to take it.”
Me: “I’m not saying that, ma’am. I’m just trying to save you an awkward amount of small change.”
I call my manager for a refill for my till, but in my experience, this doesn’t happen quickly and it isn’t on the manager’s priority list if the shop is busy.
Customer: “Just cash me out! I’m busy!”
Fine, a lot of change it is.
I count in groups of five to make it easier. I’m not even at ten euro of change in various single-euro notes and smaller coins when she frantically waves her hands.
Customer: Waving a couple of twenty euro notes in my face. “Stop, you ret**d!”
She had it the whole time… and she used a slur.
Me: “I’m sorry, but since I’ve already put in the amount on the computer, I can’t take your smaller notes anymore. I have to give you change on the €100 note.”
That wasn’t true, but if you can be annoying, so can I.
