DS just recently changed to school dinners and I was unsure of the correct etiquette with money etc. It costs £9.75 per week.
Sent him with a £10 note 2 consecutive weeks expecting change, none came home. 3rd week sent £10 and noted on envelope please can you give DS the change. School office phoned me to say that no, they cannot send DS or any child home with change as "it would be too much work".
I thought this rather snappy remark was interesting, and pondered how my boss would react if I started telling customers at work that I couldn't be bothered giving them correct change because there are so many of them each day it's simply too much work.
This week I have counted out £9.75 in correct change, in 10s, 5s, 2s and 1s.
I shall brace myself for a phone call!
