McDonalds shorted me on change, what should I do?

Question

So I ordered something at McDonalds that cost 93 cents. I payed with a 1 dollar bill. So the lady at the cash register hands me a single nickle and states "I don't have any pennies" and gives me a blank stare. I felt violated. I felt like telling her to give me another nickle then, but I did not. What should I do? I've already filed a small claims lawsuit, but I want revenge.

Answer 1

prank her

Answer 2

You should just go back and ask for your money and speak to a manager. There is no sense in suing over change thats just being greedy.

Answer 3

Just ask to speak to the manager and say that the lady didn't give you the right amount of change, and that you would have appreciated it if you got the exact amount of change that was stated on the receipt. There is no need to claim a lawsuit! Hope I helped. :D

Answer 4

GO BACK TO THE SAME PERSON ORDER THE SAME FOOD AND PAY HER JUST 90CENT      IN PENNIES.....

YOU ARE GOING TO FELL BETTER

Answer 5

wtf!!..lol..really ?

naa..i say your just looking for people to respond....like me.

Answer 6

For 2 cents? This has to be a joke. To file a lawsuit in civil court will cost you anwhere fron about $75-$100. You are willing to do this for two cents. You will be laughed out of court.

Answer 7

Take a thousand napkins and little ketchup packets.  If they complain about it, then tell them what happened.

Answer 8

Dont go to mcdaonalds

Answer 9

Send me your address and I will mill mail you the two cents even though it will cost more to send the two pennies. I hate people like you, I bet you drive a BMW or another expensive car. Get over it.

Answer 10

if you are freaking out over 2 cents then you need help, come on now 2 freakin cents

Answer 11

Go to Carl's Jr.

Answer 12

Well, it's 2 cents so honestly it's not a big deal. However, the way the cashier handled it sounds very rude. You should have reported her to her manager. However, filing a small claims lawsuit is ridiculous and you're wasting your time, trying to get some sort of compensation you don't deserve, and possibly both.

My advice, act like a grown-up and get over it. Also, don't eat at McDonalds because it's terribly unhealthy.

Answer 13

write a letter to McDonalds corp and complain

then start a vegeterian diet

hold a sign out front that says:

"Cows and chickens are people too!"

Answer 14

How much revenge does it take to recoup two cents?  Poor service by McD's, no question but get over it....get over yourself!

Answer 15

throw fries at them

Answer 16

it's just  two pennies...get over it. you can go walk down the street and find two pennies.

Answer 17

Oh please! Go for a walk and look on the floor you can get your change back!

Answer 18

what the h**l can you buy with 2 cents????

Answer 19

burn the place down.............. haha jk

Answer 20

Okay, first off, I'll tell you right now, that was COMPLETELY ridiculous!  I mean, it's not like McDonald's is some gourmet place - you're not paying extra for super delicious and healthful food.  And really, they didn't have any pennies?!  Yeah!  I totally believe that.  With the amount of people they have coming through their drive through, she couldn't find two pennies anywhere?  Not even off the ground?  That was so unbelievably rude.  Really...I mean, I'm not saying its bad that you tried to control yourself in the heat of the moment, but you need to tell somebody about that.  You should bring in your receipt and ask them (impolitely!  Replicate their behavior!) for your 2 cents.  Say it's the last time you're coming in there, and you don't want to leave emptyhanded, similar to the way you left last time.  If they give you a hard time, ask to speak to the manager..that gets them every time.  And then ask the manager to speak to the lady at the register.  Tell her how you really feel.  And I'm SURE you can dream up a creative way to get revenge, too!  Personally, I don't really think the small claims lawsuit is necessary - it's 2 pennies, I'm not saying that doesnt matter, I pick up every penny I see off the ground, no lie - and I don't really think you'll get anywhere with it.  But I'm not kidding, that got me ticked off.  I don't not have a life and live on answers, but this got me mad and made me really rethink the fast food industry and their total lack of manners, so that's why I spent such a long time explaining how I feel.  Really.  That lady should have to pay for her misdemeanor, and when you're through with Mickey D's, they should - not saying they will, but if you DO in fact get revenge - totally regret hiring her in the beginning.

Answer 21

i bet if you looked hard enough you would find one on the floor and one in the parking lot but be good about it and give the nickel away.... be grateful for what you have:)

Answer 22

mcdonalds is scandolous like that

they wont give you your two cents back for change

but if you happen to be 2 cents short they might not even give you what you want to order

i say steal a bunch of napkins, ketchup, the tray or whatever you see

Answer 23

I"M GIVING YOU MY TWO CENTS NOW!

seriously though just go to the dt booth that deals with the cash and you can pick up all kinds of dropped change,

SHE SHOULD HAVE ROUNDED UP,  SCANDALOUS

Answer 24

she was stupid just forget about it its only 3 cents calm down buddy every buddy on your qwestoin thinks the same thing right if any of you do vote this as the best anwser

Answer 25

get over it

Answer 26

If it had been $93.00, and you paid with a hundred dollar bill, and she handed you a five and said she was out of ones, would you have just walked away from your two dollars?

The amount of money isn't the issue here. She stole money from you, and told you she was stealing from you.

You should have called the manager over and demanded that you get your money.

Yeah, yeah ... it was just two cents, but you know what? At the end of the day, she could make enough profit to buy some smokes or something.

Theft is theft. Regardless of the amount.

Answer 27

Stuart: Ummm, no it's not theft. She made it clear that she wasn't going to give him the two cents, and he went along with that, when he could have easily protested, and gotten his money. If your iPod is sitting on the counter,and someone tells you they're going to take it, and you could easily stop them, but you don't, you can't go back and accuse them of theft.

Btw, this whole thing is ridiculous.

Answer 28

you are right man, 2 cents are importent as $2, or 2 balls, hmmm, no I wont sell ya my balls, yet I'll buy yours, boiled...

just for getting so much respond... Giz, I could post pictures of my wife naked and wont get it... hmmm that if i was married, so who said we don't have too much time on our hand ?

Answer 29

demand your money

Answer 30

u filed a lawsuit!!! dude ur cheap as....omg i hate people like you thats messed up, legal actions (like this) are for people that have no spine and cant fix matters for themselves. if it was actual money taken from you like idk $4+ then complain to the MANAGER but id laugh at you if i were them.

Answer 31

take 3 cents in and ask for another nickel. if this fails i agree with 1st post, set it alight.
