I had a similar disaster by Fullofkittens 08/16/2011, 5:57am PDT
This is at a grocery store. I think I gave $10.11 for a 9.86 bill.

ONE ACT PLAY VERSION

Her: Ok, and 15 cents is your change.
Me: Um, it should be a quarter, but ok. *takes $0.15*
Her: No, it's 15 cents
Me: Ok.
Her: ...
Me: ...
Her: I want to make sure you got the right change.
Me: Seriously, it's ...
Her: (*picks up the register phone*) Manager to to aisle 12!
Me: You can just keep the...
Manager: Hey what's up.
Her: He's saying that I gave him 15 cents when I should have given him a quarter.
Patron Two Carts Behind Me: (to Patron One Cart Behind Me) What's going on up there?
Patron One Cart Behind Me: I guess he's pissed because she shorted him ten cents.
Me: I'm not...
Manager: the machine says that you should get 15 cents back. How much did you pay?
Me: um... (sighs) $10.11.

(Manager teaches cashier how to refund the entire transaction and start over, while an increasingly long line of express lane shoppers watches the guy that would hold up that line for ten minutes, for a dime, aka one penny per minute of their time.)

And FoK never paid in cash for anything ever again.
