further change adventures

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."

I have a friend who tips additional change to make his bill come out even. But......
Yeah no. That's a little too much.

...maybe they like their credit card statement to be neat? I really don't know! I had a teenager try to buy $21 of makeup with silver coinage (5c, 10c, 20c, 50c) today. She ran out at $14.35 and asked if that would do!

Unfortunately it does make sense, but only because I know how CRAZY people really are!!
I regularly have a customer who brings in her payroll check and deposits like $233.68 and gets $487.34 or some weird amounts like that back in cash. Weirdos

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. :)

No, it makes no sense whatsoever. You are correct.

Customers can be so ridiculous. Seriously. I love the people who think they're just making your day by standing there counting out their tiny change and holding up a glaring line. Because it's not way faster to just put their twenty in the till and give them whatever change the machine says, lol. *eyeroll*
