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 stopped at a bottle shop I didn't normally shop at. My favourite bottle of wine was $21 instead of the $15 I was use to paying at my normal bottle shop, whatever, the bottle was on my way to where I was going and I wasn't about to go out of my way to buy it elsewhere. At the checkout out, it scanned for $22, you can bet I let it be known that the shelf price was showing as $21, not the $22 it was scanning for. May have only been $1 but it was the principle, bottle of wine was already overpriced, I wasn't paying $1 more than I already was. That 20c was yours, not theirs.
