This really just happened to me

My math was off by a decimal :frowning:

Its a great feeling to walk in a restaurant & not look at the prices…

Get yourself an asian wife, they good with math too

So you call him a dick because he didn’t ring up your order.

It’s called his job.

I use a credit card so this situation never happens to me. The dude was just doing their job and I understand. I don’t think those guys have much leeway when it comes to their jobs cause don’t they have to balance all the tills at the end of teh day?

One time my friend was back in town and he unfortunately went clubbing with another old friend of mine. So I figured whatever I’ll join them to say hi. Well, they didn’t take credit card for cover (UGH), and I was one dollar short. I asked nicely, begged, pleaded, but the korean bitch was being a bitch. dumb bitch didn’t realize I would’ve paid at least thirty times that in drinks for my buddies. That makes less sense to me cause bitch would have had the authority to be flexible but she wasn’t.

It’s taco bell man, I’m pretty sure he’s the only one (co-workers & managers included) giving a fuck about his drawer being short a penny.

I used to do that all the time, and I would end up short at the register. My manager would give me flak for it; said I was always short in the drawer.

Wish I could have showed her how short I was in the drawer…[/pun]

Being nice to randoms isn’t worth losing your job over. I work at Hollister. If someone told me they were a penny short I would tell them they could come back and buy whatever they wanted to buy when they found that penny. Can’t be that hard to find a penny in the mall. Go to the fountain people throw change in.

No good deed goes unpunished bro.
Thought this was accepted by all?

I’m guessing that the kid who works in a food court that sells tacos for 89 cents probably doesn’t have the authority to make exceptions on the prices. You were basically asking him to risk getting himself into trouble over a till shortage just because you weren’t prepared to pay what you owed. For all you knew, his drawer was short already and he needed every penny just to keep it acceptable.

Yeah, it was one cent, but do you know how many cents these people are obligated to let slide? Zero cents. That’s how many cents.

Yay capitalism.

That means he gives a fuck about his job.

I dont understand the entitlement of OP.
If I complained about that, my grandfather wouldve socked me right in the kisser

pennys are everywhere though, you could of probably looked over your shoulder and spotted one. Like right now, I’m staring at a penny on the ground.

still bullshit though, kid was probably a newb taking his job to the max.

What would I have done in this situation?
Not make this topic, for one, heheheh.

But uhh…some G.I.Joe advice: Get a debit card pronto. Less headaches in the future when you need that quick bite and don’t have the physical green on you.

I worked at Walmart as a cashier but i gave no fucks about that job…

So i would always help people
*** out some times for the fuck of it, i would let them leave the store without paying for something no big deal.***

It just a penny the guy was a dick end of story.

Dude you didn’t have the money, it’s that plain and simple.

It’s not like you’re some homeless bum on his dying wish, the kid was doing his job, especially since he doesn’t have the authority to do otherwise.

No one here was a dick but you to be honest.

Sponging off your wife while playing SF all day must be a great feeling too

Hold that shit asianpedodoughboy.

F

FAIL…

I was a cashier a penny don’t mean shit that guy was being a dick.

you could have just got…idk…less food or changed your order?

I help run my family’s deli during the week. Around 3pm the kids come down from the high school / middle school and very often they don’t have the correct change or they’re short. Sometimes we let it slide and sometimes we don’t.

The thing is that it’s OUR store. The cashier in this story is just an employee, it’s not his money to do what he wishes with.

So again, the only one being a dick here was the OP.

a penny isnt going to make anyone notice.
