So in my last entry I mentioned that I was in a battle of wills with one of the self-service tills at the Sainsburys near my place of employ. Well today I got the chance to gain restitution! Oh yes indeedy!
My shopping at lunch time came to the princely sum of £4.60 so I took those five two-pence pieces and, in feeding them to the machine, got the price to £4.50, and then gave that bastard contraption a ten pound note. The machine told me to expect £5.50 in change.
The machine gave me a five pound note.
I awaited my fifty-pence piece.
The machine gave me two twenty-pence pieces.
My heart sank a little bit but I awaited a ten-pence piece.
The machine gave me five two-pence pieces.
Balls.
Upon looking at them 'twould appear that the machine gave me a different set of five two-pence pieces as these were shinier.
Somehow this has made it all the worse.
I will not back down.
