I should have known it could get worse!


Customer gives me credit card, I swipe credit card. Customer starts rummaging in purse.

Customer: "Wait, I have change."

Me: "...You just gave me a credit card. Do you want to pay cash instead?"

Customer: "No, I just want to give you the change."

Me: "......Uh."

Customer: "Can you do that?"

Me: "............Technically, yes, I could ring in a few cents of cash and the rest on a credit card. But WHY?"

Customer: "It just makes it a nice round number."

Me: ".....................But it's a credit card."

Customer: "Well never mind, you don't have to."

Actually, yes it does. When I buy gasoline, I always round off the dollar amount. And when I make bank deposits, I always make deposits in rounded-off amounts (like $1100.00 or $600.00).

This does NOT carry over to purchases where another person rings me up (or where I can't control the final dollar amount). I do like it when I make a purchase and it comes out to something odd like $23.23 or $6.66. :)
