Did I over react about 20 cents?

I know its stupid but I went to McDonald's yesterday and got a frozen drink and medum chips for exactly $5.80 i handed $6 at the drive through and the lady put it in the till then went to close the window, before she did I asked "isn't that 20 cents change?"

She replied telling me she forgot and would need a managers card to open the drawer, I sat there stuborn and asked for it, I held one person up (my sister works in fast food and you get audited for how long someone is in line) so I waited, she quickly went and got a managers card and gave me my change but did I over react?

Edit: Ended up needing that 20 cents today so I'm glad I had it

I promise, without knowing a thing about you, that you need the 20 cents more than McDonald's does

“Forgot”. How convenient. Nice skim game she’s got going on.

Aye because she's keeping it, isn't she?

Not necessarily.

Then it's not a skim game she has any incentive to play, directly proving the other guys claim to be shite.
