This reminds me of a situation at a Perkins somewhere in Florida where an elderly guy was having an argument with the cashier. He felt he was shortchanged 10 cents, and the cashier was unable to open the computer-generated cash machine. The line kept growing and growing. Finally I gave him a dime and told him to leave. He left in his brand-new Cadillac.

I asked the cashier and the manager why they did not just give him a dime out of pocket. They said if they did, they would be setting a precedent. It happened too frequently, they added, even if they made correct change. It had to do with the failing memory, etc.
