    Ahh so pissed off

    Took a £10 note out of my money box lol.. and went to the garage to get coffee.

    So I pay for the coffee with the £10 note, and get handed £2 something change

    So I say errrmmmm I gave you a £10 note, she said NO you gave me a £5 note. We went around in circles for a few minutes and I had to give up because I was getting very annoyed, and embarrised (cue formed behind this scene)

    I did however remind her that I use this gargage a few times a week and spend a fortune on fuel in there, why the hell would I try it on over a fiver lol.

    I now have to wait until the till is checked in the morning and see if their till is over (I doubt they will admit it when they realise)

    It's so annoying because it was 110% a £10 note, I don't have £5's because on the Sunday market another trader buys all my five notes, 1 and 2 pound coints, every week without fail. Plus the fact I know because I took it out of my frigging cash box and put it in my pocket, I don't use a wallet.

    It's not the fiver that I care about, it's the fact that I knew it was a £10 note and I got this idiot embarrising me ,telling me it was a £5 note.

    I really doubt she will have the face to admit it even when they realise, unless they **** up somebody elses change like andy said

    I really don't care for the fiver, should can't believe on how she insisted it was a fiver.

    Personally I would put my complaint in writing. It may be that this staff member is trying it on. If an employee, then the employer will have to think twice about her honesty if the till tallies. I've had them try this on me a number of times; it's scam as old as the hills. I note the last three digits of a single note when I pay cash (which is rare) and it stood me good stead at least once when I threatened to call the police. I still informed his boss anyway and they guy was toast the next day. Seems it was his favourite trick till he was reported for it twice. The second time (me) removed any doubt the employer had about his honesty.

    Round here they put the note on top of the till, give you your change then put the note in the till.

    Must be a common problem there then !

    They do a weird thing with scratch cards in some shops. If you hand over one with say a win of £2 and ask to swap it for another scratch card(s). They first give you the £2 cash. Then take the £2 cash back from you and hand you the new scratch cards lol.
