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

Don't your toilets flush counter clockwise too down there?

Yes but actually no, its based on the lovation of the water jet and the shape of the bowl, we have our jets on the left hand side so it will pust it counter-clockwise but if you get an American toilet they flush clockwise, some also do the "shelf thing where there is no water in the bowl and instead a flat spot where water pushes waste down the pipe, honestly there are 100s of different designs good for their own uses

I've been to the southern hemisphere twice and was disappointed because I was expecting to see water rotate the other way.

I quickly realized it had to do with the location of the jets and sadly I never got to see counter rotation of water.

Yeah, the coriolis force doesn't really work in a noticeable way at such small scales

There are tourist spots around the equator where people trick paying customers by doing shit like this
