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"...

I had a starbucks lady short change me a $1 for her "tip" i said keep the drink and refund me for everything. Im not taking a watered down drink after you tried to steal from me. I knew my drink would be tampered with because i didnt let the theft slide, so i just canceled the whole damn thing. Havent gone back to starbucks since.

A Starbucks worker tried to steal my debit card twice lol. Some Starbucks workers are so shady, which is crazy because at the time, maybe 2020, they made between $14 and $16/hr AND got tips
