I get a dollar back

[Racket_Man]

A situation that happened to me a couple of nights ago reminded me of an interaction another driver a couple of months ago.

The driver arrives at hotel room with an order. The order total was $24.70. The person hands the driver $25.50 and says "I get a dollar back".

The driver attempts to explain to the customer he will only get back 80 cents.

the customer persists "I get a dollar back"
wash rinse and repeat

The driver then casts spell for understanding of basic 1st grade math
******spell failed******

the customer persists "I get a dollar back"
wash rinse and repeat

The driver then casts spell for logic and reason.
********** spell failed*********

the customer persists "I get a dollar back"
wash rinse and repeat

The driver then casts brain healing spell
******** spell failed*********

the customer persists "I get a dollar back"
wash rinse and repeat

Finally the person get all worn out from repeated spell attempts and accepts his 80 cent in change.

And I bet he didn't even get a tip if that guy gave him 25.50 for a 24.70 tab... even the 80 cents would have been a cheap tip.

Math, my old nemesis....

Maybe the guy confused the 8 as a 5....doubtful though.

Does anyone here have two tens for a five?

Allow me to put my in.
80 cents is 80 cents, it does not make a dollar. Sure we could be nice employees and just give them the few extra cents, but guess what? I take serious tremendous pride in having a till that is exact, right down to the last penny.
Many years back, I had a customer who's total was $*.02 and he gave me only dollar bills to pay with. I gave him 98 cents in change. The following happened....
Me: Here's your change.
SC: (mumbles something in a somewhat rude tone)
Me: Sorry?
SC: Just forget it, you're rude.
Me: I'm sorry, have I done something wrong?
SC: You wouldn't give me 2 fucking cents.
Oh no, asshole, you didn't just bitch at me over 2 goddamned cents!
Me: You know what, sir? I gave you the right amount of change!
He gives me a shocked look like he couldn't believe I just talked to a high and mighty customer like that. Then he gives me the "I'm a bad employee" look. I smile right back at him.
Me: Have a nice day

Heh, reminds me of that joke...

A man watches as his son is mocked by a bully for being stupid. The bully proves it to a crony by asking the son, "You can have a dime or a nickel, which one do you want?" And the son replies, "The nickel, 'cuz it's bigger." The bully would give him the nickel while he and the crony guffawed at "how stupid he is."

The next day, the father saw the bully and another crony swagger up to his son, and repeat the same thing. Nickel or dime, and his son chose the nickel "'cuz it's bigger." And the father frowned as he watched the bully and his crony swagger off laughing.

After seeing this happen a third time, the father pulled his son aside to give him a quick lesson in money, explaining, "See, son, a dime is worth ten cents, which is more than the nickel, which is worth five cents."

"Oh, I know that, Dad," his son says brightly.

"Then why do you let those boys make fun of you every day?!" the father exclaims.

"Because if I asked for the dime," his son says patiently, "they'd stop doing it."

Few years ago, I went to a gas station, asked for $10 worth. for some reason, the pump stopped at $9.95. the guy pulled out the nozzle, put it in the pump and began to walk away. I called him back, said I asked for $10, I still had 5¢ to go. He was a real d**k. He actually said to me, "next time, next time you get an extra 5¢ worth.

Oh hell no! I wanted my 5¢ worth now. Can you believe it if I stopped by next week and wanted my extra 5¢ worth? I made him pump 5¢ right away. Just because he was a real d**k.

Or, as told by Luther (I believe Merle Haggard was the singer), "The day you take the dollar, the money game will end".
