Today, I was cashiering, and a customer's change came to $5.51. She looked pretty stinking rich, so I just gave her $5.50. She demanded the extra penny, and I asked if she really needed it. She said, "No, but they do, asshole," and dropped her $5.51 in the charity donation box. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a customer gave me the dirtiest look ever and muttered, "Goody two-shoes prick" after I asked if he'd like to donate a few cents to charity. FML
Today, I rang up a customer’s items. The total came out to $24.67. She handed me a bag full of coins and looked at me expectantly. I asked if she had any other payment methods; she got irritated and said ,“If I did, I wouldn’t have given you this, stupid!” I had to count them. She was still 6 dollars short. FML
Today, a lady handed me a $10 tip on a $45 bill. I was happy with it, since it was more than 20%, until she came back in and said, "I'm sorry I gave you the wrong amount." I handed it back to her and then she gave me a dollar. FML
Today, I was tending the cash register. I scanned a lady's items which totaled $89.68. She paid with a $100 bill. I gave her $11.32 change. She angrily gave back the extra dollar and complained about "schools nowadays". I'm an AP Calculus student. FML
Today, I handed a middle-aged woman her change of $0.75 with three quarters. She looked at the change bewildered and threw the coins down, asking if she thought I could get away with only giving her thirty cents. I had to explain to her how much a quarter is worth. FML
Today, I was at a Baskin Robbins, and because of COVID, I don’t take any coin change. The cashier handed me $1 and a cent. I said, “Keep the penny.” That basically meant, “You're worth a penny”. She gave me the stink eye as I was leaving. FML
Today, I was shopping at the grocery market and was next in line. Behind me was a woman who only had two items, so I nicely let her in front of me, as it looked like she was in a hurry. When she was all rung up, she decided to pay her $16.45 in loose change which needed to be counted out. FML
Today, I helped a lady carry her grocery bags to her car. She was so grateful that she offered me a tip. I refused, but she insisted. When I finally took it, I looked at the bill to see she'd given me $1. I smiled and said thank you, but she looked at me like I’d just robbed her. FML
Today, I was at work when a customer, who was going to pay for her groceries, started sorting through her money. She put some coins in her mouth, seemed to suck on them for a while, and then gave them to me. FML
Today, at my fundraising job, I got my biggest donation ever: $500. I accidentally added a zero and charged the donor $5000. What I actually got? An angry phone call and a lecture from my boss. What I didn't get? A donation. FML

Why in the world would you not give someone correct change because they look rich?

I work as a cashier and you sound ridiculous. Why on earth would you not give her HER OWN MONEY because she looked rich?! Even though it IS only a penny, that is technically stealing, you ****.

It's her money not yours. Give people their money. Doesn't matter what she does with her money. It's not your say if she should get it or not.

You must be one of those annoying cashiers who make customers break a $20 bill for a penny they owe.

You judgemental asshole.

I see where all of you are coming from but whether this person was rich or not it doesn't seem to matter. It's a ******* penny and mind you I myself would be too embarrassed to even demand the penny. Also that customer sounds like a real b****

She donated to charity. Why call her that? She was in the right.

How is the customer sounding like a bitch? She confronted the cashier about not giving her the money owed to her. And then after being asked if she really needed the penny, I think she had every right to call the cashier out for being an asshole. I would have asked for the manager right there and put the cashier on the spot immediately. The cashier deciding for the customer whether or not they need their proper change is called theft.

Always give the full change

Who are you to decide, asshole? YDI. Hope you don't expect any sympathy.

YDI. I've worked as a cashier and had people assume horrible things about my education and intelligence level because I held that position. I'm sure this has happened to you, too; unfortunately, I don't know a single customer service employee who hasn't had that happen. Why on earth would you think the opposite was okay? Assuming negative things about people because they appear wealthy is just as bad as assuming negative things about people because they appear poor.
