So I handle our break room food stuffs and got a txt this morning that we were out if sugar. So I stopped at the Walmart that was on my way in. Grabbed the sugar, some bananas, and some unfrosted poptarts. Got up to the self scan, rang my items, and then tried to pay.
Yes that's right...tried. My total was 6.86 and I put in the penny with no problem. Put in the one with no problem, and then the machine wouldn't take my five.
So I flatten it out a bit more, make sure the corners are good, flatten it out some more all while trying to get the machine to take my money. I call over the attendant who fiddles with the bill and then tries it herself four times. Each time turning it the other way. When I suggest that she just accept the money on the main console she gives me a deer in the headlights glance before saying "All I can do is exchange your bill not take the money."
I swear I almost BSOD'd right there and then she went to fiddle with the main computer for a second before wandering away. I managed to fish out enough ones and stuck them in. While cursing softly under my breath.
Finally had my receipt grabbed my items and started to walk away. Where the lady just standing there with her arms crossed called down to me that I needed to pay for my items. I just waved the receipt and hightailed it work.
Now am I in the wrong or isn't there a way she could have taken my five?
