Maths according to Staples
Just before chrimbo I went in to get something laminated. Cost: 80p. So I'm there, and I give the guy at the till a £2 coin. He rings up £20 and starts to count out £19.20 in change.
Being a law abiding citizen, I asked him "Erm, are you sure you're giving me the right change?"
To which he got right snotty. "Yes!" He snapped, pointing to where it said £20 (that he'd rung up by mistake. "It says so there!"
Far be it for me to contradict the mighty Staples computer. I shrugged, pocketed my £19.20 change from £2 and left the store.
What a tit. I hope he had to pay the remainder from his own pocket.
