I go into a fast food place during a One-Dollar Drink Deal promotion, order a drink, and give the cashier a five-dollar bill, plus change to cover the tax. He hands me my drink, gives me two dollars, and walks away. I keep trying to get his attention, but even though I am literally the only customer in the entire store, he takes his sweet time coming back to the counter.
Cashier: “Do you need something?”
Me: “Um, the drink only costs a dollar, right?”
Cashier: “Yeah.”
Me: “Well, I gave you five dollars.”
Cashier: “Yeah.”
Me: “And you gave me two dollars.”
Cashier: “Yeah.”
Me: “So…?”
Cashier: *Blank stare*
Me: “…I’m gonna need another two dollars.”
Cashier: “Okay.”
He opened his till, handed me two dollars, and walked away without another word.
