The penny situation never even crossed my mind before, like, who the hell cares? A PENNY!. He thinks I was trying to come out ahead by making him pay the extra cent. I'm going to start calling him Goldstein.

I once had a customer at Super Store return to haggle me over 27 cents. I worked in bulk foods at the time and we sold everything by weight. Occasionally we would toss whole bags from the manufacturer onto the "clearance" shelf with the price marked by weight.
So one day we had done that, tossed a bag marked 1kg onto the clearance shelf with a price marked as $X/100grams. This guy buys it, gets to the till where it's weighed and comes out to slightly more than a full kilogram, he pays, takes his candy home. Only to return the next day to complain direct to me (in bulk foods) about how the weight was more than 1kg and we had mislead him! I did the math and it this gentlemen had paid 27 cents more than an exact kilogram would have been.
Yet that 27 cents was enough to take his receipt, hop in his car, drive to the store and track down an employee to complain to.
