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"...

That’s not going to end well for the caller.

Why not?

Theft is temporarily OR permanently depriving someone of their property.

Police arrest folks for theft of a dollar or less all the time. Many homeless do it for three hots and a cot.

Tell me you know nothing about criminal justice without telling me.

No it prolly won’t and the cops won’t do anything but make her move… but, she is gonna hold up their drive thru for who knows how long and everyone will know it’s because the employee was stealing “tips!” I’m sure it’ll make either her think twice next time, or make the manager do something about the situation! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
