Today, I handed a middle-aged woman her change of $0.75 with three quarters. She looked at the change bewildered and threw the coins down, asking if she thought I could get away with only giving her thirty cents. I had to explain to her how much a quarter is worth. FML

Today, I rang up a customer’s items. The total came out to $24.67. She handed me a bag full of coins and looked at me expectantly. I asked if she had any other payment methods; she got irritated and said ,“If I did, I wouldn’t have given you this, stupid!” I had to count them. She was still 6 dollars short. FML

Today, I was cashiering, and a customer's change came to $5.51. She looked pretty stinking rich, so I just gave her $5.50. She demanded the extra penny, and I asked if she really needed it. She said, "No, but they do, asshole," and dropped her $5.51 in the charity donation box. FML

Today, a lady handed me a $10 tip on a $45 bill. I was happy with it, since it was more than 20%, until she came back in and said, "I'm sorry I gave you the wrong amount." I handed it back to her and then she gave me a dollar. FML

Today, an old lady came up to me and asked me to break a fifty for her. I gave her two twenties and a ten. I later used the fifty. It was counterfeit. I was conned by a pensioner. FML

Today, I was tending the cash register. I scanned a lady's items which totaled $89.68. She paid with a $100 bill. I gave her $11.32 change. She angrily gave back the extra dollar and complained about "schools nowadays". I'm an AP Calculus student. FML

It amazes me how some people get through life with so little knowledge.

Perhaps OP is neglecting to mention if the woman appeared to be from a different country where their ten cent piece is similar in look and/or size to our quarter?

I once got yelled at for giving a woman a Canadian dime. She told me to give it to someone in Vermont, as if it's legal tender there!

A coworker of mine had a customer who did something similar... He gave him the correct change of $10 and like 5 cents or something, gave him the receipt and said have a nice day right? The customer gave him the nastiest look saying that he got the change wrong and demanded an apology. He showed he customer on the receipt that it was the correct change, and left to his car... Upon dropping his stuff off to his car, he came BACK and demanded to speak to a manager about his "incorrect" change. A manager had to explain to the customer "look man, here's the change stated on the receipt, and here is a $10 bill and a nickel." Although my manager saw the correct change, he had the nerve to lecture my coworker about giving him correct change over the radio where everyone heard. People these days...
