There's a reason places are going to automated change machines on their registers.

most cash registers I see today are digital and tell them how much change to give you.

it could be that it was that persons 1st day on the job and they really need that job to support their family, maybe they got nervous and made a simple mistake...have you never made a mistake at your job?
 
people who look down on those with jobs they consider menial...everyone is not born with the same skill sets, some are disadvantaged...I give every person who gets out there and grinds away at a low paying sometimes degrading job all the credit in the world!!!

shame on those who would look down on those less fortunate!!!!
 
My first job was at Dairy Queen in 1994 while in high school. I worked there off and on for almost 5 years. There were kids my age back then that couldn't count change and that was before common core math made kids even dumber than they used to be. Those kids worked there for a long time and couldn't count change up to the next largest coin.

How about ordering a plain cheeseburger, and the order taker asks if I want cheese on it. Or ordering a Diablo burger at Hardee's and them saying we are out of the sauce and peppers that are on it. I say so you just have a cheeseburger. They say no, it's a Diablo Burger without the Diablo toppings.

I've worked fast food, telemarketing, courier, worked in a cube farm, and been a technician for the largest phone company for the last 16 years. I don't look down on people.

If your skill set doesn't include an elementary age skill of additon and subtraction, your skill set probably doesn't command a $15 minimum wage.

the person made a mistake, you should not judge a persons ability based on one transaction.

hell, I freely admit that I make mistakes almost daily.
 
What really annoys me:

- friends staying over using my toothpaste which I'm OK with but leaves a pastey sludge mess around the cap.

- letting someone take a bite of your food, getting it back with dribble hanging off it.

- guys wearing string singlets leaving their smelly sweat on every bench they sit on without wiping up! GROSS.
 
Catcalling.

Walking down the road in a business district, in business/work attire, on my break. Car pulls up slowly and is following me. It's a man, he rolls down the window and starts ambushing me with questions like, "what's your name, where are you headed, do you need a ride? Come on, just get in the car I can take you." Like, WTF, NO. JUST NO. THIS IS HOW PEOPLE GET KIDNAPPED! It took a few tries to dissuade him but he eventually left me alone.

Entirely inappropriate and absolutely terrifying since I was by myself. Luckily it was near a fairly populated and public area.
 
Every time I go into REI, they want to sell me a membership. Hey!!!! I just want this damn quest bar. 2.99 + 20.00 = 22.99 for a damn quest bar?!??
 
I almost picked a fight with another one of those "non-thank-you for holding the door females" at the gym. I looked right in her face as she walked through the door - nothing!. I handed my key fab to the desk clerk while she was behind me and turned around and looked right in her face again - nothing! After my pab was swiped I stood right there next to her staring in her face while she waited to have her key fab swipe - nothing! So I said out-loud "so, i get nothing, nothing, not a thank you?" Desk clerk who saw this whole thing transpire kind of freaked that I called her out. She ignored me. I followed behind her repeating my first statement - nothing! Did not even acknowledge my presence. Bitch!

Any time someone doesn't say thank you I still just say you're welcome lol

Haha for real I do too. Hold open a door and they walk through like they are entitled without saying a word. I always say you're welcome with a snarky look on my face. Happens more than I'd like. I always say thank you when people are courteous...always

Same here, because I know how annoying it is, and I just like people to know they're appreciated so they continue it lol

Sometimes if I'm in a bad mood and not wanting to talk I'll at least give them a nod and a forced smile lol

I am very sorry to hear this, but not surprised. there is a lot of inappropriate behavior going on. many in todays society have no clue how to behave appropriately!!! BUT there are those of us who would have put that joker in his place!!! not ALL men are like that.

I'm always grateful when someone holds the door for me, and I make sure that they hear me say thank you.

I went on a date with a guy who opened the door for me, held my hand while I got inside, and put my seatbelt on for me.

I also went on a date with a guy who walked ahead of me the whole time.

it has been my experience that the right person comes along when you are not actively pursuing a mate.
 
I was walking into the bank and a gentleman opened the door for me so I said thank you. He replied, "No problem, a man is suppose to open the door for a lady!" :)
 
When someone opens the door for me my legs tremble and I collapse to my knees...tears roll down my face from gratitude and happiness...I grovel at their feet and thank them over and over again for their generosity...because it means that much to me
 
When someone leans against the community pole on a train when its busy. Happened this morning, when i was hyped on PWO, ended well.
 
Having to get up for class when the sleep is just too damn good! Thanks MK-677...
 
I hate people that live in a complete **** hole with ceiling falling down, duct tape stuck to walls as decoration, electrical outlets that have been burned out, hasn't been cleaned in year, complain that when they want me to move their cable modem to another room in the house, they say I don't want a wire run on the outside of the house because it looks trashy.
 
Sorry for being poor?!?...

Definitely. Initially, I thought it was an isolated incident from a weird creep. However, it happened again just recently. Same place and time. It's now turned into harassment and I no longer feel safe in and around the area I have to be in day in and day out. I'll probably have to file a report with the local police.

I hope the police can help....12 years ago I took my wife to a shooting range and taught her basic firearms, she liked it so I signed her up for a course at gander mountain. we both have Concealed Carry Permits and she either has her weapon on her body or close by or in her car, unfortunately most times the police show up AFTER the crime has been committed....I truly believe if you feel threatened you should take measures to protect yourself...

I really hope this gets resolved peaceably, but most of all I want you to be safe!!!
