"Uhhh, I gave you a twenty." "No, you didn't." "YES, I DID!"

Me and my girlfriend went to eat dinner at a restaurant one night. The bill was for $19.50. I only had two 20s in my billfold so I placed both 20s with the bill and told the waitress that I would need change for the extra 20 so I could leave a tip.

She comes back and has given me two 10s, basically trying to force me to leave her a $10 tip. Well, I wasn't going to to do that, but I also didn't want to just leave her nothing so we waited, hoping to tell her to give me some 5s. When the waitress saw we weren't leaving, she refused to come back over. We had to get a manager to go break the 10 for us.

Even though I was mad I still left a tip. They only make $2.50 an hour.

You are their customer, not their hostage. When a waiter attempts to force you into a large tip, the CORRECT thing to do is to give them a lesson in how to perform better customer service by NOT leaving a tip. As I mentioned before in another thread, I am typically a very generous tipper. I left $50 on top of a $25 tab the other night...but if the server is not coming to your table to bring change, or otherwise attempting to screw you, you owe it to future customers to make an example. I had that happen to me a few weeks ago. I gave a big bill and the waitress never returned. Eventually I just got the manager, told her what happened and had the server called on the carpet over "forgetting to return my change".
 
Retail is not easy my friends. I'll just say that.

I've been in retail since I was 17 and the customers do suck, but you do have some nice ones you geniunely enjoy seeing.
 
Everyone makes mistakes, no matter what job there are in. But sometimes you can tell the cashier is trying to be snidey or their attitude doesn't help them. If you don't like your job thats tough luck, don't take it out on paying customers.
 
sure but it's your fault if they fail to recognise how much money you've given them.

No. It's their fault because they can't pay attention to their job, which is count the money being handed to them and hand the customer the correct change.

It's not like the cashier is being asked to recreate the big bang in a particle accelerator

At the movies last night, I bought 2 tix for $15.00, handed the guy a $20 without a word. Lo and behold...he gave me $5 back :wow:
 
And you didn't even have to tell him how much you gave him
