Pretty sure you can charge whatever tender you want. If you don’t wanna take pennies, you don’t have to, I guess.

What did they expect you to do? Give them $6.60 or more and not get change back? You should have said ok, left them 6.55 and walked out.
I did exactly that plus +4¢

Do you people ever get tired of whining?

As a historical fact New Orleans was only around 25% Black in 1960, as a result of various federal policy changes rural Negroes from throughout the south migrated, whatever was washed away by Katrina were in NO as the result of a different earlier flood, shite happens.

This is the way it is done in Asian. Odd thing to do in the south. You should have picked it up and thrown it at her. Then tell her "hey, pick that up." Can't let retail workers get a bit head.

People with sad lives make a thing over silly shite like change in the hand or change on the counter. People with happy lives never think of stupid shite like this, because well, they’re happy. Hammond is not what I would consider a very happy place overall. It’s almost to be expected that if it’s going to be a thing it would probably be in a place like Hammond that it’s a thing.

When you initially paid did you place payment in her hand or on the counter?

Not sure if you meant to write that to me, but we both made the same point.

Most black people are racist. I believe there are more black racists than white ones.

No, I'm sayin be the bigger person and go. It's not like she told him to fk off or did some over the top disrespectful shite. If youre butthurt by someone putting something in front of you instead of in your hand..

If Im outside cutting my grass and your son hits his baseball into my yard and I pick it up and nonchalanty throw it back into yours. Are you gonna say thanks or bitch that I didn't throw it directly to you?

Yeah but if she can't get it right working the register part time at a gas station, she for damn sure wouldn't get it right working her childhood dream occupation full time with all kinds of added stress. That is, if she had one. Her dream occupation might be sitting at home on her fat arse collecting checks from the government.
