Vent: The guy at the gas station tried to pay for a $2 coffee with a $100 bill at 5 AM
I was working the overnight shift at the 24 hour spot off Route 9, and this dude walks in right as the sun's coming up. He grabs a single black coffee, brings it to the counter, and slaps down a crisp hundred dollar bill. I just opened my register, so I have maybe $40 in change total. I told him I couldn't break it, and he got so mad, saying 'What kind of business doesn't take money?' I had to explain, slowly, that I literally did not have ninety-eight dollars in my drawer. He huffed and puffed for a solid three minutes before finally digging out two crumpled singles from his pocket. Who does that at five in the morning? Has anyone else had to deal with this, especially on an early shift?

Ever wonder if people just don't think? I used to assume they were trying to be difficult, but now I'm sure they just don't get how cash drawers work.

Wasn't there a study about how some people just don't see the steps in simple tasks? I mean, maybe they've never had to handle cash before so the drawer thing doesn't click.

Honestly it's like they think every cash drawer is a bank vault. Tbh some people just don't get that you start a shift with a small float.
