>the things costed R$31,75. I pay him with R$50 >to make easier for him I said hey, I think I have some coins (at least R$1,75 in coins), so that he would give me R$20 >I see I only had R$1,25 in coins, I murmur I think it won't do it >he takes my $1 coin, and gives me back R$20,75 And I didn't understand. I tried to help someone and made things worse.

>>24880558 Are you chinese?

>>24880610 Am i retarded or does the math actually check out?

Same thing happened to me at a restaurant recently. The guy gave me my bill, i brought up my money + change so i would only get bills back. He pulled out a calculator to start crunching numbers, and gave me back about 70 cents in change and an extra $4. I didn't say anything because I assumed he knew what he was doing.

>>24880623 I hope it does. I don't know math, so I don't question other people's math

Once I was in Colombia and bought a mango smoothie. I gave the guy money, but then I thought he cheated me with change, and argued with him. It was hard for me to calculate because the exchange rate was large and the currency was new to me. Later, I counted my money carefully and realized he didn't cheat me. I felt very embarrassed.

>>24880635 >Brought up your money so you would only get change left >Guy starts punching numbers in a calculator Am i retarded or is it what i think and when you pay so it lands on a whole bill, its always simple math

>>24880654 <Brought up your money so you would only get change left so i would only get bills, not change. But yes its pretty simple math

>>24880635 Let's break down the transaction to see where the discrepancy is: Cost of goods: R$31.75 Payment offered: R$50.00 bill + R$1.00 coin = R$51.00 Change expected: R$51.00 - R$31.75 = R$19.25 Change received: R$20.75 The shopkeeper gave you R$1.50 too much change.

meanwhile me taking 40 bucks from boss to pay me uber and getting his blessing thereafter

>>24880653 It is mess up. I don't like to argue with people, so I usually simply don't go in places I know people tend to not be honest with the exchange.

>>24880765 Are your boss some jew?

Jesus fucking christ you're overthinking it, that's too cheap to meter, man the fuck up.

>>24880623 the 75 cents should have been discounted from the 20$, not added

This reminds me of the one time I interacted with a gypsy/romanian/indian couple (whatever the fuck they are), they tried to steal from me when I was working as a cashier, they asked me if I could exchange some bills, and they tried giving the bill I gave them as a "tip" before giving me anything back while I was busy with something else, imagine being this scummy while on vacation. >This whole thread Bernds are having trouble crunching numbers on a slow board, no wonder I fumble up when that happens in real time while having to understand broken english.

>>24880775 holy esl

>R$1,50 Even a hobo wouldn't care about that amount of money. Go out on the street right now and hand it over to one. He might spit on you

>>24880554 You deserve it just keep it bernd.
