Scammed by Del Taco or a Coincidence?
Del Taco is where I go late at night for degenerate eating, because Taco Bell is usually closed by then. Anyways, the other day I go and pay for my bill of $11.68 with $21.68 (a twenty and a one).
The cashier hands me my food, but no change. I say "What's the deal, where's my change?" She says I gave her two fives and some change, which is already ridiculous because that would come out to $10.68 and not cover the bill. I explained this to her and she handed me the money with disdain. I drove off cursing her silently. So last night, I stop by again at around the same time, and the same cashier is working. My bill comes out to $7.26 this time, and I pay with a twenty and 26 cents. This time, she hands me $3, while counting it out $" 8, 9, $10" as if I had given her a $10 bill, and immediately closes the window. I sit there patiently holding the money, and when she hands me the food I ask her "how much change did you give me?" She gives me this fake smile and says "You gave me $10.26" I tell her "That's not the case, and I think we had this problem the other night." She doesn't even say a word and goes to the register to pay me $10 more. Potential scam, or freaky coincidence? This type of thing doesn't seem to happen too often, but the fact that it's a very late night drive thru raises my suspicion of shadiness.

Scam. You should write the company with the clerk's name and dates. She's not doing the place any favors, and the quicker she stops the better it will be for everyone, including herself.
Obviously she needs a hard lesson, too, if she's so dumb she does it to the same guy twice, two days in a row.

She's a thief and you should alert the manager/owner.

[/ QUOTE ] It's a common scam that some employees will attempt especially at the drive up. I've had this same scam tried on me. Gave them a twenty and they gave me change like I gave them a ten. When I called them on it they gave me the correct change.

I just called and spoke with the manager. Apparently they have gotten several complaints about that specific cashier, so it seems likely she was trying to pull a scam. I do like the idea of giving correct change and asking for ten back, though, just to see if her reaction is any different.
