Nonsensical Change
A customer's total came to $8.65. She handed me $10.25. English was clearly not her first language, so I thought she might be confused about our money. (Foreigners are often confused about our coins. Understandably, in my opinion, since our coins don't have numbers on them.) I asked her if she meant to give me ten dollars and twenty-five cents. She said she did.
So... She gave me a ten dollar bill and a quarter. And I gave her one dollar, two quarters, and a dime back in change.
Huh?

LOL
And you counted it back to her: a dime is $8.75, a quarter makes $9, a dollar makes $10, and a quarter makes $10.25?
Did you give her back the same quarter, or did you mix hers into the drawer before pulling out the new quarters? :)
I dropped her quarter in the till before pulling out two. What can I say, I'm a creature of habit!
Maybe she was hoping for a fifty-cent piece?
