Today, at my part time job as a chashier, a man wanted to pay for a pack of cigarettes and a six pack of beer with pennies. His total was $13.47 and we counted out $13.13 in pennies. He then pulled a $20 bill from his back pocket, paid with it and told me to keep the pennies. Fml

I don't know where you live, but some countries, and even stores, allow you to refuse those kinds of orders. The money either has to be rolled so it's already counted, they have to get reasonable tenure for their transaction, or they can leave. People that do this waste the cashier's and everyone else's time, there's other ways to get rid of unwanted change without overwhelming a store employee. If it's a store that doesn't do tips, I'd be careful about letting customers just give you, or leave, extra money. Many stores have termination policies about accepting "tips" when you're a cashier, or will accuse you of theft if they see extra money around you while you're on the clock.

In Australia a pack of cigarettes and a 6 pack of beer could cost you up to $50! The massive spider hising in the 6 pack however, is free.

It would be a FML if the guy had made you count all the pennies and left when he figured out he didn't have enough change... But as annoying as it is to count so many coins, getting tipped 13.13$ is worth it.

This is true; I can speak from experience. A fellow employee at a convenience store I worked at years ago thought when the customer said, "go ahead and keep the change" that the customer meant for *him* to keep it when he was really supposed to put it in the register.

You should've given him the change for the $20 in pennies!

I've read something exactly like this before. so I'm calling bluff on this one. a lot of places have policies set for things like this that you can refuse a form of payment if the change exedes a certain amount.

In Germany by law you're allowed to refuse if the customer hands you more than 50 coins.

People like that should have the pennies put where the sun doesn't shine.

Just another reason to follow our lead and get rid of the penny.

Not quite sure why this is an FML, ya pennies aren't always fun, but you got tipped 13 bucks. That's really nice for a gas station where tipping isn't even a thing really. In my opinion, that was a good thing not an FML js
