The Ticket is Ripped

[purplecat41877]

Yesterday, a customer checked a piece of lottery ticket that won a little money. He wanted me to cash the ticket but I told him that I couldn't put the ticket through the machine since it was ripped. When he insisted, I told that I needed the whole ticket. He got angry and ended up leaving without his winnings.

I couldn't put a piece of ticket in the machine because it would've gotten stuck. I needed the whole ticket so I could manually enter the ticket.

but you're denying him his hard earned winnings.

sadly, we all know if it makes sense...

this guy, however, is completely out of the loop.

I'm suddenly reminded of the joke about the guy who won a million dollars, but because he wasn't getting it up front he demanded the dollar for his ticket back.
