ShortChanged

Thursday- Well to vent...monday i went to common cents to fill the car up for work, since it said 207 on the sign im like heh better than newhere else in wheatland. As i was filling i glanced at the pump itself, it was charging me for 209. me being the penny pinchter i am, well, ill have to mention i want 207. the store was pretty crowed and i finally got to my turn, i asked, well i still get 207? and she is like yes ill give u a refund, so i gave her 26 dollars for the 2582 amount it was...she gave me back 24 cents..so again im like, i thought i got the 207 price? she snapped, i gave u the descount thats it, again im like no u didnt the pumps price is the same as u just told me, so she got all snippy and again explained its a computer glitch i gave u a refund!! by this time people are just looking at me like im a retard and some obnoxious costumer, seeing a line i finally go fine can i have my receit then...grabbing it with a huffy sigh she handed to me. going to my car i got out my calculater...she gave me 24cents back and my regular change should have been 18 anyway for a 109 price (26-2582) so im like this isnt right i know i need more back and she was there embarrassing me. so again i pulled around, waited for the line and again said u were really rude to me, if u were worred about a line i wouldve moved to wait...but now u still owe me some money. she is like no i gave u that price, its a computer glitch blahblah.. im like right here it says u owe me 18 cents more u gave me 24 cents total. she is like i gave u 24cents in refund! i showed her what i saw on my receit and she grabbed it talked to me in that tone like im some stupid kid and scribbled numbers on it like THAT was supposed to make me go ok your right. finally i said i would talk to a supervisor later and walked out in tears. i got home and showed dad and indeed she had shorted me the regular change of 18 cents before the discount. he called and she finally realized i was right of course since dad was on her butt about it...he called the cops to report shortchanging me, and that this "computer error" was going on for 2 days, meaning that all credit card users that didnt go inside for there refund were being "robbed" of that, not to mention the business it took from conoco across the street. i know it was 18 cents but to be embarrased twice by a rude cashier when you are right, it is enough to ruin a persons night. heh there i updated with venting!
