Crafty Cashier Cooks Up Ingenious Way To Deal With Rude Customers

If you’ve ever worked in retail, you’d know that everyday interactions could make or break a worker’s day. Your patience is constantly tested as the fierce battle for courtesy unfolds - with politeness being the ultimate prize.

Our narrator (Original Poster) worked as a cashier at what they affectionately dubbed the “Walmart of gas stations." Due to the sheer size and merchandise options, this equaled a high influx of customers - which automatically meant a higher influx of jerks.

OP had seen it all while toiling away behind the counter – the card swipers, the phone tappers, and then, there were - the cash slingers.

OP was filled with fury whenever customers carelessly hurled their dollars onto the counter. They didn't quite understand why this irked them so much, but one thing was for sure: the lack of simple courtesy got under their skin.

I mean, they're right there, arm extended, ready to accept the payment with a smile - so why? Being a master in the art of pettiness, OP concocted a delightfully petty revenge, a small act of resistance that brought them satisfaction.

With each 20-dollar bill flung for a humble $9 purchase, OP made a point to return the change in the most inconvenient manner possible - as many one-dollar bills and nickels as required. 

And heaven forbid anyone tossed a crisp Benjamin Franklin onto the counter – that's an automatic trigger for a landslide of fives. It was a mission to teach these offenders a lesson in courtesy, and with any luck, they’d learn soon enough.
