How valuable are you as a customer?
I've been going to the local convenience store almost everyday for a couple of years buying morning coffee sometimes a muffin, quart of milk,loaf of bread, lottery tickets,gas for my 2 cars.
On Monday as i only needed a coffee i brought exact change along,unbeknownst to me the price of a coffee went up 10 cents over the weekend so when i got to the cash i was 10 cents short, i said to the clerk i'll bring an extra dime tomorrow,to my astonishment he said no can do need the exact price...Really? .
Obviously if my being a customer isnt worth 10 cents he wont care that i've taken my $100+ per week business across the street.
Kind of a shame these days 10 cents is worth more than a regular customer..

(16,463 posts)I am not sure how I would react. Here, I think someone would offer to pay the dime but I don't know if the clerk would have denied me in the first place. What did you say to the clerk after he said he needed the exact change?
Really?, you gotta be kidding., i spend close to $120 a week here and you dont trust me for a dime till tomorrow?
Where upon he said my cash wont balance at the end of the day if i dont put in full price.
At this point i didnt want to debate further i asked for a smaller coffee and i left the store never to return.
I found it odd that he poured half of the large coffee into a smaller cup then threw out the rest of the large coffee along with the cup and the lid
