we've all had a few fumbled exchanges at the drive-thru when it comes to change. but what do you in the event of a wind gust that happens to blow a $5 bill out of the cashier's hand, over the hood of your car, and into the nearby road, which happens to be a very busy street?
a few things to consider here:
- the bad exchange was 80% cashier's fault, 20% my fault.
- i ordered two hard shell tacos, a beefy crunch burrito and a chicken burrito ($4.82; paid with a $10).
- she handed me the change first, no problem.
- there were three cars behind me and I had yet to receive my food; getting out of the car to chase down a $5 seemed awkward; driving away wasn't happening (had already waited for 15 minutes).
how do you handle this situation? :sdeek:
-
Stick with lunchables.
-
quit using cash :dunno:
-
hand 'em your credit card to avoid further awkwardness.
-
i don't use credit card on purchases of less than $5
-
wow. thats rough. I've dropped coin change before, but never bills. They always apologize and I just let it go.
-
I wipe my ass with bigger bills. Don't sweat it bruh.
-
First and biggest mistake was going to taco bell.

As it turned out, you were making a $9.82 purchase.
-

I generally won't at mom and pop places that will give you an angry look if you do that, but at Taco Bell? You betcha.

Carry-Out
-
Yeah I don't like drive thru much. Much prefer carry-out.

You don't tip at Taco Bell? Guess you do now.
-
i don't do drive-thrus, basically they're for pussies.
-
The cashier should have given you another $5 unless it is 100% the customer's fault, and even then a big chain like Taco Bell probably should still give you another $5.
-
j rake, more like JO (because his hands are so bad) :lol:
-
why should we take rake's word for it that it was only 20% his fault? i don't believe him, and i'm glad he was too stupid/socially repressed to go pick up his money.

why would i lie? also, i was nice about it and cut her a sweet deal.
-
I would have requested $5 worth of those cinnamon stick things and called it even. :lick:
-
I would have demanded a crap load of the salsa verde and fire roasted salsa packets.
-
I hate the drive thru! I hate drive thru people!
It's a curse on our american way of life. :shakesfist:
-
someone obviously didnt follow through with there New Years resolution for conflict resolution.
-

you don't seem like an honest person.
-
I'm surprised they handed you the change first. Dumbass cashiers always hand me bills first, then put the change on top and it slides off every time! :curse:
-
seems like this is a common occurrence at the Westport TB in Manhattan. Worst designed drive through ever.

Couple weeks ago I was drunk and went to McDonalds at like 3am. When handing my debit card to the employee, I dropped my card and it went in the CMN donation tray thing. They had to go get the key and unlock it to get my card out.

Why were you driving drunk, KSUBrian?

Some guy I went to high school with got really drunk, then went to McDonald's and passed out in the drive thru. He woke up on jail. :nono:

Oh man...

I don't trust anyone that doesn't use exclusively credit cards.

the only people that use cash in 2012 are old men with money clips.

my total was $7.11, i paid w/ a $20. the cute little mexican girl took my cash and gave me my change with a pleasant smile beaming off of her beautiful face.
-
Eating Taco Bell right now because of this thread. And I have to say, I'm not even sure their half pound burritos weight half a pound!
-
Used to really like their Grilled Stuffed Burritos. Until they changed it to where the only kind of grilled stuffed burrito you can buy there is "extra, extra large."
-
The taco bell in MHK sucks. There's no reason a taco should take 10 minutes to make.

Saw a deal on TV about Taco Bells. Said they are expected to make a taco in like 7 second or something like that. They do have cool spatula type things that mmeasure out meat and allow them to put it in the tacos without breaking the shells all to hell. Wish Taco Tico would use those things, last time all 4 rough ridin' tacos were broken all to hell.
-
Taco Tico is a lot better than Taco Bell when it comes to Bean-n-Cheese burritos.
