It is not worth it ?? Your views !!!

Today morning, as usual I stopped by a Shop near by my house to have a cup of tea. I used to go to that shop often on my way to office. I had a cup of Tea, a couple of Samosa which comes around Rs 9/-. I gave a 10 Rupee note which the vendor placed it inside his cash box and kept quiet.

Me :- asked for the Re. 1/- 
The guy:-  You took Coffee and the amount is leveled.
Me :- I took only a Tea which leaves a balance of Re 1/-.
The guy :- As you usually take only coffee, I calculated this way. He gave me the Re. 1/-

I am not sure what should be my reaction to this. Because not even a single instance, I have take coffee in that shop. I had no interest in explaining him I had never taken a coffee here. I thought of two things on walking back to my Car :

  • It makes no benefit for both of us to explain this to him. I don’t want to waste my time explaining him what I usually do.
  • Further if he has done this intentionally, I don’t want to pin point him and say you are wrong in a very morning time.

What is your view ?

Have a great Weekend !!!
