The penny trick in real life?

[Anonymous]

Suppose a cashier rings up a customer’s $55 worth of groceries, 10 items to be exact. The customer only has $5 available on his card, but the remaining $50 is in 5,000 pennies. The cashier says she has to ask her manager if she’s allowed to take a payment in pennies, which if he says yes, she has to count ALL 5000 pennies. So she asked the manager, and her manager told her “NO, not if the pennies are not rolled up. The cashier tell the customer in sounding embarrassed, “Sorry.” The customer took no for an answer very well. But the problem now is that she says to go on the register and void all $50 worth of groceries, which is 9 out of 10 items that she rang up she spent 3 to 5 minutes leaving the customer with one item worth the $5 on his debit or credit card. And after canceling everything she rang up, she and or her coworkers have to put all the groceries back on the shelves, which must’ve been the most annoying experience she had as a cashier. It’s like the cashier was at the top and fell to rock bottom head first. After a while, when the customer returns to the store to shop, but the cashier is no longer on register most likely being driven away from the register from getting beaten down to her socks. Do you think the customer made the cashier look bad?

Damn bro, that was a pretty shitty thing to pull on that cashier. A few thoughts:

- Sure, technically the pennies were legal tender. But making her count out an hour's wage in loose change is just wasting everyone's time.

- Seems the customer was kinda trying to prove a point or show off rather than actually purchase what they needed. Kinda douchey.

- I get being annoyed the manager said no, but taking it out on the cashier who was just following rules ain't cool.

- Forcing her to void out and restock the whole order just cuz she did her job must've sucked major ass.

- Now that poor girl likely dreads customers even more. Ain't no winner in that scenario.

I feel for the cashier, man. Retail can be brutal enough without people intentionally messing with employees. Hopefully dude didn't ruin her whole night just to stroke his ego. Not the move.

I think you put way too much drama into this.
You hit void total and the transaction is gone. She processes a new transaction with one article. Simple.
The customer makes them self look like a retard carting all those pennies in for absolutely no reason. Anybody that has the audacity to do this deserves to look like a fuckin retard.
The cashier most likely doesn't give a single fuck about any of this.

Yeh i met 2 people like that they save pennies and instead of deposit they do pranks with a pile of pennies. They think it is hilarious to hurt others.

No. The customer made themselves look bad.
