Ugh! Cheated of coins at Burger King!

I am neither a CRH nor a collector of US coins, but I still eagerly check my change with that feeling of anticipation every time I get some. It was a vending machine spitting out a war nickel at me a few months ago that got me into this hobby.

So I went to Burger King today as I generally do once a week. For some reason, the usual cashier has taken a liking to me - says things like "Want to make sure you're taken care of" and the like. So today I got the 10 piece nuggets ($2.49) and a large fry ($2.19) giving me a total bill of $5.11. Give her a ten and do quick math in head - (most likely) 3 quarters, a dime, and 4 cents. Sweet!

Then she just hands me a five back! Nooooo! I didn't have the heart to ask her to not hook me up. Somehow I'm sure she had some goodies in her drawer too.

If that happened to me, if I saved 11 cents, I would run like the wind.

 

Next time you just say ..oh wait ..let's make that a meal and add a medium pepsi.

 

Yep, that feeling of not knowing drives ya nuts quick! If I was you I'd let her in on what I'm looking for. You are a regular customer and she is your "usual" cashier, and you think she kinda likes ya.... Sounds like you already got your foot in the door.... She'll save stuff for ya I bet! (Disclaimer: The word "bet" as I've used it is NOT an attempt to solicit gambling. As a figure of speech, it is more my style to speak this way, even though I intend for it to mean "I think it is highly probable" )

Don't wanna collect any infarctions, now!

 

you complainin you saved 11 cent..omg u's a clown...jus kidd'n

 

Not very smart on her part. If she just rounds off like that all day long on her shift giving customers the loose change difference, when her drawer comes up short, she has to pay the difference out of pocket. But then again, perhaps that's why she's working at Burger King. If I was manager, I'd demote her back to the fries station. :yes:

 

Yes yes these are good ideas. Sharking old coins off the Burger King cashier lol.

 

Umm. Yeah.

 

In some, if not all, states, it is illegal to make a cashier pay for register shortages.

 

I would just ask politely for the change, explaining why if necessary. Heck, I have been in 7-11 and had that happen where they would give me a buck instead of 95 cents or something - and explained why, and then the clerk decides they will check through all the coins to give me anything that looks like I might want it. That time did end up with a 1926 and a 1944-D Wheat.

 

if ya wana make it up just go get ya self 5 dollars worth of pennies

 

Inflation

 

Not where I live, that's why when a drawer was assigned to you, no one else was allowed to touch it.. and it's not illegal if you signed paper work to agree that if your drawer is short, it comes out of your own paycheck.

 

I wish there was a burger king in my city

 

If the drawer is over at the end of the shift, does the cashier get to keep the overage? It's only fair.
If it were illegal, a signed agreement to allow it would be illegal, too.

 

The only change I sort through are pennies and nickels. I keep the pre-82's and all nickels, and spend the rest. I got a 1962 quarter once, but that is a rare occurance nowadays.

 

You know, they have these things called "banks" - and you can go inside them and give them your paper money, and they like give you coins for it and stuff. Sometimes they even give you a lollipop.

 

A city without a Burger King is like a day without sunshine - dark.

 

what the? I dont eat fast food, and Im glad i dont dramatize about it, either.

Or if you go through the drive through with your co-pilot like I do - they give you a doggy biscuit.
