That's a technique called Salami slicing. Minute dishonesty. See more below

Dear poster, a lot of us know this but we choose to ignore or dash the change. Uber riders do this the most.

I don't want to call you stingy but there some amounts not worth the stress. I can buy fuel of #5000 and the meter reads #5009 so are you saying I should now be yabbed or stopped by the pump attendant because of #9?

In your own case the shoprite person would have just told you #2150 instead of #2200 but all the same how much be the change you wan collect sef.

U v spoken well, and I love the example you used, I'm very sure he can't count the many excesses fuel attendant dashed him... Life is give and take, you win some you lose some.

O.P the evidence you posted is enough to make the attendant jobless tomorrow, I suggest you blur some sensitive part. The company can see this and decide to do a follow up to save their image.

So i purchased few items from ShopRite today, was told by the checkout staff that my bill was 2200, paid 2500 and she gave me 300 balance alongside my invoice. I took a second look into the invoice to find out my bill was actually 2127 instead of 2200 as stated by the attendant. I sharply went back to her and she started speaking in tongues all to her defence...that she forgot, made a mistake and all sort of blas undecided

Guys please when you go shopping at checkouts without the LED display showing your bill, please check your invoice properly.

I hate it when people try to make money through dishonest means...just imagine how many people she might be doing this to, 77ngn ×1000 customers ain't no small cash.

One time, I bought a lot of things including roll on and sanitary pads. I got home and found all the items on my receipt but there was no roll on and pad in my bag. Over 1k gone. Since then, if they're counting my things, I don't even blink.

Lol. Brother if you hear how some of this workers get by I swear you by yourself when you have excess you will dash them money. I'm not saying start dashing money ups and down but if it won't hurt your pocket #50 or more as tip is not bad. I have been at HARD ROCK cafe on the island cafe when a man Tipped a waitress #5k. I was like which kain waste or show off be this but what do I know.

The poster sounds like someone that will dash a person 100naira and use it as a point of reference of being a giver for a whole year. There are somethings you let go not because you are a fool, but because you are a bigger person. Dude was even calculating 77*1000persons. Lol.

You should have told her softly or joking rather than rushing back with a fiery and frowning face asking for your 73 Naira as if thats the end of the world.

Truly she's wrong by not admitting that she owes you a change and she doesn't have it


Guys like you will go through the list of the food items one by one and ask for correct change from Wifey

Do u need to wait till u r robbed at gunpoint before you address stealing?

Even the security guards at Apo are in on the scope. All sorts of paroles at customers' expense.

Always insist on collecting the official Shoprite parking tags from them before you drive in for your shopping. They intentionally omit to give it out allowing you to go do your shopping only to raise issues and false accusations to came you on your way out.
Poverty is making people mad and desperate in Nigeria.
