Me: “Your total comes to $2.15.”

Child Customer: “Okay.”

(He slides his card, touches the key pad and reaches for his things.)

Me: “Hun, you paid through gift card and there wasn’t enough to cover it all. You’re short 46 cents.”

Child Customer: “Oh, um…can you just remove something?”

Me: “I can’t cancel a transaction in the middle of it.”

Child Customer: “Well, I don’t want the drink no more.”

Me: “Look, I’ll cover the rest but next time just make sure you know how much is on your card or ask us to check before hand.”

(I go through my pocket and pull out a dollar to cover the change after not being able to find enough change to cover the rest. I finish cashing it out and notice the kid’s still there, hand held out and ready to receive change back.)
