(I work in a small specialty mall store, and my manager is awesome. Cell phones aren’t a thing yet, so we are very eager to help anyone and otherwise find ways to amuse ourselves. One day, a super-important-type comes in looking for a blacklight for his kid. The guy is an a**hole the entire half-hour I deal with him, and then I get to ring him up for his purchase.)
Me: “That’ll be [amount].” *extends hand for payment*
Customer: *throws a couple bills at me, deliberately under my outstretched hand, not saying anything*
Me: *digging for change; looks over at manager*
Manager: *nods in the affirmative*
Me: *throws change at rude guy* “Here’s your bag! Have a great day, and thanks for shopping with us!”
Manager: *laughing, walks to the back*
