So a few weeks ago the sister made a venture to the local 7-11 to buy a couple of snacks and what not. I gave her a $10 and my list was what I was sure 5 bucks. She was gone for a bit but returned with not 5 dollars as planned but a measly 25 cents. Clearly being shortchanged by the same amount the purchase was worth Kyra got mad and we returned back to this horrid 7-11. I went in and claimed the exact same purchases from the shelf and asked her to ring it through for me and tell me the price. She said 5 something so I asked her why she charged my sister 10 dollars for the exact same purchase. After a confusing conversation and the cashier playing the 'I don't speak English' card, I finally spoke to the manager who adamently did not believe we were short changed. I strongly encouraged him to watch his security cameras to see what billage my sister gave their beloved cashier. He offered us drinks while we waited but at this point I wasn't having it, besides, he'd probably turn around and charge us for them or accuse us for stealing them right after. When a 15 minute wait was over he finally returned and agreed that after watching the footage that we were shortchanged. He said that the very good reason for this was that the cashier put the bill in the 5 dollar slot by accident. I'm a cashier and if I put a 10 ten in the 5 dollar slot, its going to dawn on me pretty quick because two of my slots will suddenly look the same. I don't know, I was just not very happy regardless but he gave my $5 back! I am not a stingy person, normally I don't care too much, but when you short change me the amount the entire purchase costs its kinda sorta really extremely notciable. The sister and I decided that if we ever wanted to fufill our snacking urges we would NOT return there. It's not worth it, fighting with the manager and trying to convince him to monitor his sketchy employees more carefully.
We returned home and took a few victory photos.


Just count your change before you tear open that bag of chips or down that pop. ;)
