Two weeks ago I paid cash at McDonald's for my meal, came to like $6.58 or something. Handed the cashier $7 and she hands me back my receipt and wishes me a goodnight. I asked her for my change, and verbatim, her response:

"Oh, the change machine isn't working, I didn't think you'd want it anyway." and then just kinda closed the window... Like, what??

The change machine is broken? Feels kind of like the cashier stole $10 from her til and is keeping the customers' coins to replenish the shortfall and avoid discovery of her theft.

She was young, and I didn't hear the auto change machine go off, so I assumed she would have had to do the math/count the change herself and either couldn't (not a shot at her, my niece around her age can't read an analog clock) or didn't feel my forty cents was worth her effort.

Either way, I was annoyed but also completely caught off guard, lol, I've never had someone say that to me.

Maybe I'm a Karen but for 40¢ I'm going in to talk to the manager or calling corporate.
