Pet Peeves that make you seem like a crazy person

[Kraco]

When you meet a jackass idiot of a cashier that doesn't understand the concept of not wanting loose change. It comes out to like 19.01, and I hand them a $20 with a penny and what do they do? "What you trying to pull?" They hand back the fucking penny that I won't ever use elsewhere, and give me 99¢. What the fuck am I gonna do with that?

That has never happened to me. I do that all the time, and the cashiers always know what's going on.

I guess the con artists are still so rare here that usually the cashiers don't even come to think of such a possibilty.

Con artists confuse things by making several transactions happen at once, while the drawer is open, causing the cashier to lose track of the transaction totals and start paying out. Smart cashiers can prevent this by simply refusing to do more than one thing at a time and making sure to put the money in, take the change out, and close the register drawer before being interrupted.

Stupid cashiers can't figure out that a penny and a twenty gets you a nice amount of change. There's several approaches you can take to inform them of such. The first is, give them the penny first. If they try to hand it back to you, tell them that they should just type it into the goddamned register and see what happens. If that doesn't work, then I suggest throwing every damned penny that they handed you back at them. Aim for the eyes. Amazing what five cents worth of copper and zinc in the cornea does to a person's willingness to listen...

o.O; I'm suddenly thankful I'm one of those smart cashiers who take the penny... especially since I'm the customer usually doing that to get the even amount.
