One woman, who I’m sure was trying to fleece me, had bought a paper for 50p. I’d handed her the 50p change. Fifteen or twenty minutes later, she returned to tell me that she’d paid with a ten pound note and I’d only given her 50p - as if she’d paid with a one pound coin. Being as the manager wasn’t there, it’d have been too much trouble to call somebody in to run a till check and as I was busy - there was a giant queue which she’d interrupted and was holding up - I gave her the change. Seriously though, how could she not notice a five pound note, four one pound coins and a fifty pence when I gave her the change? You’d notice that, right?

I warned the boss my till might be down. I’m not sure if it ever was either. The cheek of her though, interrupting when I had a customer too!
