I always check my change.
Fast foods restaraunts are what to look out for given the volume of customers they serve, if they shortchange 10p every customer (where they can, it does soon add up!

Good advice if you're sober enough to be able to count.

hi - i used to work in the corner newsagent on saturdays when i was 13 and its amazing how many people dont check their change or question the amount! At the beginning I didnt know the prices so I used just make them up:) and people paid up!!!

You know its not just local shops, I went into Somerfield the other day and the woman told me the total £1 higher then it actually was and it was only when I saw the amount on the receipt that I realised she was trying it on and I demanded my pound and she gave it straight away!!

and the other day, in M&S I was with a friend who has mental problems and the bloddy cashier who didnt notice I was standing opposite gave him lots of coins instead of notes as his change. I made him count it in front of everyone and it was £1.50 short.

SO BE CAREFUL and ALWAYS CHECK THE AMOUNT AND THE CHANGE!

...and how it's deemed socially acceptable for a shop to hold a banknote up to the light when it's tendered by a customer, but people feel "silly" doing the same thing when the shop hands them a banknote as part of their change.

If the cashier has checked the notes correctly then a customer should have no need to check notes given in change.

I was very un-MSE today. Not only did I buy a caramel latte from the petrol station, I was charged for a large instead of the medium I had. I let them put the 40p towards their Christmas party.

OP: Check your change next time.

Ah, but if the customer has already checked the note, then the cashier should have no need to check the note
