unprepared

i ran an errand for my mom wherein i had to pay something in cash.  going to the place, we did not know yet how much i was going to pay.  my mom just gave me thousand-peso bills.

it turns out the total amount due is P16,691.20.

i handed the cashier P17,000.

she asked me whether i had twenty centavos.

i told her i had no coins.

she goes, 'how is that?  i don't have 0.80...  don't you really have 0.20?'

me:  'all i brought are bills...  no coins...'

cashier:  'i don't have 0.80...'

me:  'never mind...'

she then gave me P308.  good thing she didn't round it off to P300, hehe.

they're right next door to a bank.  i wonder how many payors don't get exact change.
