Hmm. Since he was a jerk about it, I would've kept the money. He's got no claim to it. You drive off, nothing he can do.
Call me paranoid, but I always ask for receipts whenever I buy anything, and look over it before I leave. I also double check my change before I leave a counter. It's good practice, for both sides; in case you get too much, or too little. Too little, complain; Too much, make a judgment call whether or not to hassle to return the overage.
For one Stampede, I worked in a ticket-booth for the carnies. The tickets were sold at prices of $22 and $52. There is a sign at the window stating "Count your change before you leave." Sometimes people would run back to the booth saying they forgot their change. I'd point to the sign, and direct them to guest services. I got a lot of $8 tips that year.
Moral of story: Always count your change before you leave.
