It really wasn't his day
Perhaps even his first day on the tills.
I went into out local M&S food hall for some bits and pieces.
I noticed that the lady two places in front of me was having a discussion with the young man on the tills as she paid him with some bank notes.
Lady in front of me paid using contactless.
Now it is my turn---
I had cash as I had been tasked with paying in a charity collection. I had done a bank transfer from my account to the relevant charity account, so had lots of cash.
Looking at the amount required, £37.51, I counted out £30 in notes, gave it to the boy
£6 in 50p and £1 coins , gave it to him,
£1.51 in an assortment of 50p, 20p, 10p, 5p coins plus 1p.
He sat and looked at me.
"How much have you given me?"
"£37.51"
Looking at his till---"But I need £42.01"
I pointed out that the customer information indicator informed me that the total was £37.51 (I knew that there had been some offers, so final total less than initial total.)
"oh, oh yes"
As I began to take my bags to leave, he sat looking at the money in his hand and said
"How much have you given me?"
Oh dear!!!!!!!!!
