An elderly customer orders a drink at the bar. I give him his total.
Me: OK, that is £1.89 please sir.
He hands me a five pound note.
Me: And that's £3.11 change. Enjoy your drink.
The old man stood there, studying his change, staring at it. He suddenly went a bright shade of red.
SC: YOU ONLY GAVE ME £3.10! YOU OWE ME A PENNY!!
Now, I don't know what happened. The only thing I can think of is that I somehow dropped the penny on the floor as I handed him his change.
Me: Oh, OK.
I open the register and get him a penny.
SC: NICE TRY!!
He walked off.
Yes, I am THAT poor that I make extra money stealing copper from the elderly.
