My mate
was once a customer from hell.

After a heavy night out in Preston, he gets up to go to uni, slightly worse for wear.

On the way he stops off at the butty shop for a chinese chicken special butty and then pays with a £20 note.

Shopkeeper hands him change for a £5 note. My friend points out that he paid with a £20 and would like the correct change, shopkeeper insists he gave a £5.

Much arguing unsues, with shopkeeper adamant that she is correct which then turns into extreme anger and she throws the till drawer on the floor in front of a shop full with waiting customers.

Friend storms out without his money, checks his wallet and finds the £20 note he thought he'd paid with. Dies a little bit inside, and never returns to the shop, not even to apologise to the poor woman.

He said it was on a baton, about 6" long...

Which butty shop in Preston
which butty shop was it, the one a couple down from pizza hut? If so then i've seen them throw real hissy fits over wrong change being given even down to 2p once.

I've done that before.

A calm and measured disagreement followed, until I threw the gauntlet down with a defiant:

"Look, I only had a tenner in my wallet, so how could I have paid with a fiver? I'll prove to you that I now have no notes in my... oh. Um, [incoherent mumbling under my breath]."

I didn't go back for some time.

@One Winged Angel
Do you mean pizza city? If so, yes it was that one on friargate.

Didn't stop me from going in there and laughing every time I was handed my change!
