tills these days though tell you exactly what change is owed, if you can't manage to convert the numbers on the display into notes and coins them maybe you should be penalised by your employer (and sent back to learn basic maths if it happens regularly) - i wouldn't feel victimised if it happened to me - just a bit embarassed and stupid!

In the likes of Tesco's maybe, but there are still thousands of shops using older tills that don't work out the change for you (I've never worked on one that did). Plus the most common reason for giving out the wrong change is getting the note wrong, i.e. thinking you've taken a £20 instead of a £10, rather than adding it up incorrectly.

People make mistakes sometimes, that makes them human, not stupid.

Some years ago, in a High Street store, I walked away from the till before checking my change. When I did check my change I found that the cashier had returned my twenty pound note plus my change. When I went back the cashier would not even let me explain what had happened. All she would say was I should have checked my change before leaving the till. After trying to explain three times and each time the cashier telling me she wasn't interested I thanked her politely and left the store. I had my purchases my reciept and was over fifteen pounds better off. Sometimes it's impossible to be honest.
