Swindle!

[azekeil]

kissycat1000 got change from her '£20' at the cafe (actually a tenner) and refused to give me any of the £2.50 I'd given her back for my share of the food! Then after much cajoling she relented and gave me.. wait for it.. a pound. In change.

Swindled!

*grin* You know I'm worth it.... ;)

What? £1.50? *chuckle*

[reddragdiva]

I'm sure she'll pay you back in kind.

Not you two bickering about change again? Have I got that to look forward to when I come to see you? ;@)

*hugs m'dears*

£1.50 paid back in kind? I can't think he'd get much for that.. ;)

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Won't even get me a shave, will it?

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Very probably, yes :)

[serena-lesley.livejournal.com]

I could shave a patch of yout stomach for that.. I know how much you enjoyed it last time when you got 'swiped'.. ;)

Call me old-fashioned, but I tend to point out to shops if they inadvertently under-charge me. It seems only fair, given how quick I'd be to point out if I'd been overcharged.

I point it out in non-chain shops.

I sent Tianna over to pay and just put the change in my purse, I didn't notice until I got home. Ah well.

I felt kind of like Samson. :p

Whoops. (-8

It confuses the hell out of the staff when you do it, though ;)

Every man has his price.

However, sometimes it gets discounted.

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

And I'm £1.50 it would seem :/

Not as much as paying a cashier £1.23 for something that cost 68 pence. Did that the day before yesterday and ended up with a very very odd look. She started giving the extra back to me, then paused, then started again, then gave up and entered the amount into the till. Then, upon seeing how much change to give me gave a sigh of understanding.

[stuartl.livejournal.com]

And you're worth every penny.

[stuartl.livejournal.com]

Well, certainly nothing that'll take longer than a few hours.

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Meanie!

The capacity for confusing checkout staff is much greater in the USA, of course. There, they have quarters (25¢ pieces) so you could with even greater justification tender, say, $1.23 for something that cost 98¢.

Then again, American checkout staff are more easily confused, anyway.

If you want more than that, you should set up an eBay auction.
