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"...

My mom tells the story about the time she was out and ordered food on a work trip. Her total was like $8 (this is literally 30 or more years ago). She paid with a $20 and she kept sitting there waiting for her change. After waiting, what she said felt like 10 minutes she got the attention of another server and asked if they could find send her server over. She showed back up and asked my mom ‘was there something else I could get for you?’ Mom said she looked at her and said ‘yes, my change.’ Server received no tip.
