He would have been quite within his rights to refuse to accept it. Then you'd have looked like a right cunt.

I don't think 'legal tender' means what you think it does.

No, I'm aware that it doesn't precisely mean what I implied. But I was pretty sure that SirStromming didn't know either.

Strictly speaking, the bully could have legally refused the transaction when the cashier started behaving like a wanker and the issue of legal tender doesn't need to come into it.

Similarly, shops are not obliged to give change in the first place, or to serve any given customer.
