We went out for the day over half term and struggled to find enough change for the all day car park so had to raid the dc's pocket money. I had £50 in my purse, two twenties and a ten.
We then went to a fish & chip cafe (didn't take cards), we all had meals and a drink and it came to £20.65. I handed over £30 and the assistant asked me for the 65p. I said I'm sorry that's all I've got, I can give you the 5p but not the 60p. I need 65p, she said. Sorry, I said I have no other change, thats all I've got.
Well I need the 65p, you can't pay for 65p with a ten pound note.
Another assistant came over to see what was up. She is trying to pay for 65p with a £10 note the till assistant. said.
Well thats all I've got I said. (though I felt like saying, no I'm bloody not I'm paying for over £20 worth of food here).
Begrudgingly she gave me the change. I had actually considered paying with the two twenties as I needed change but thought no I won't.
This was 12.15 noon at the start of lunchtime in a very busy cafe in a busy resort during half-term.
