Sweets instead of coins? Not even if I Was Starving

[jeff of pa]

Not even if our Economy Depended on it !

It was once acceptable that instead of getting back your change in Kenya’s supermarkets, you got low-quality sweets—we all assumed “coins shortage”. But now it is a trend.

We recently went shopping at a supermarket and after giving the cashier money to pay up the bill and waiting for our change, he casually picked two sweets from the candy jar and gave them to us.

We refused to take them and demanded for legal tender.

Insistent on his stand, he advised us to speak to the manager who was as adamant as his staff.

He would rather we returned the shopping than get coins as change.

Guess it's worthwhile to bring exact change.

that sounds like they are stealing money..if you do this to 200 transactions at .25 to .50 each that 50 to 100 dollar times the number of cashiers and you now upped this to a felony. call the cops and complain.
