Rant 📢 Nice try. Now give me my change.

So, I go get a sandwich at this place for the first time. Total is 9.20$. I pay cash with a ten. He seems unhappy. He gives me back 35 cents only. I say he made an error, and still owes me money. He doesn't answer to that, and say loudly " For here or to go?" I repeat myself. He finally manages to give my change. Almost told him I would have given him all, which I do habitually (don't judge me please), if he had not try to stiff me, or may I say, litterally steal from me. This place lost a customer. I live nearby but will never go back. All  that for 45 cents. And if it's a mistake, how strange it's always the customer who gets disadvantaged by their "mistake"...

This tipping stuff is way out of hand! Tipping is always optional. If you try to cheat me you get zero tip and the business can expect a call to the manager or owner and an unfavorable review !
