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 !!!
Cheers - Ranjith

Even I had such an experience. I went to Hot Breads to have a cake and the guy who served me brought the bill. The bill amount was 55 for which I kept 60 Rs. The guy brought the change and kept it in my table and went silently, when I counted it, I found only 4 rupees. So I asked another guy in the bill counter about the change and this was the reply.
me : 55 thaana bill 4 rupees thaan balance kuduthu irukinga
that guy : 1 rupee illa
me : appo yen andha aalu sollala change vekkum podhu?
that guy: marandhu irupar……
Before this I thought of keeping the balance 5 rupees to him for serving, but brought back the 4 rupees……..
People assume things often…….
