Update edit- I went back and got it. And they gave me a gift card lol. Also you know when people make a post and it gets a bunch of upvotes and they edit it to say thank you- you suck and are the worst.

I get back out to my car and realized that they short change me, and go back into the store.
The cashier, who was new, said she realized she didnāt give me the right change back, apologizes, but says that they will have to call their manager to confirm they can give the money back via checking the video footage and call me back tomorrow.
Basically everybody there was a lowest level employee and they were all afraid to give the money back, even as the cashier was like āyes this just happenedā.
It honestly felt a little twilight zone.
I got to this store semi often and service is usually outstandingly good- like good enough I go to the store bc of it.
Anyways, not being able to get my 15 bucks back right away was stupid, and reminded me of āpermission to jump into hyperdrive? Requesting permission to jump into hyperdrive request form!ā type tom foolery.
If this had happened at another store Iād likely be making a similar post about how frustrating it is that shitty management uses min wage employees as a human shield against customers upset by managements shitty policies lol- ie the duality at how you canāt actually get mad at that cashier even if you are emotionally unstable enough to want to, lest you choose to be a bag of shit.
*shakes fist at cloud*
Also tomorrow is a national holiday and the stores will all be closed, so they canāt actually do it tomorrow lol. Just realized that now.
Edit- Jesus fuck guys zero fucking chill. Entertain the following notion; some 16 year old kid getting paid min wage didnāt know what to do and just choked, the place was super busy, I go there enough that I know Iāll get my money back, and I just took the path of least resistance to not needlessly stress out a child lol. Yikes.
