    I heard a great malicious compliance story between a cashier and a customer, a woman was purchasing a discounted cutlery set that was $20, when she went to check out it rang up as $10 and the cashier tried to tell her that it wasn't ringing up as $20 because it was actually cheaper, but in very cliche Karen like fashion she screamed over him not letting him finish his sentence, demanding that he honors the discount sticker price, so he overrides the $10 and puts in $20, when his boss found out he asked why he made a customer pay $20 instead of $10 and he explained it and they just laughed

      I remember arguing with a contact lens wearer that yes, my glasses were 100% necessary. She could see fine without her contacts, so obviously everyone could.
      I spent half a school day without mine because of her bullying, which was bad since I can't see clearly past two inches from my nose. By the time they finally reappeared, all the teachers could say was 'well, if you wore contacts...'' literally can't. If I can get them in, they irritate my eyes. No drops would help, and the eye doctor said it wasn't worth the risk of damage...

      There is no mercy on that kind of thing.
      In theory, nobody is allowed to bring animals into my job. In practice anyone who wants to just does it anyway. We are only allowed to ask if it is a support animal, not what it's trained to do, not what their disability is, etc. So they know all they have to do is say yes and we have to stop right there. If we press the issue, we can be penalized (read: HUGE fines, thousands or tens of thousands) even if it isn't an excepted animal and the person was lying, because it is the act of asking at all in the first place that is illegal. That's how insane it is.

    The best story for someone doing something unusual to pay for their bill was a dairy farmer. He wrote a check out on the side of a cow and took it to his local council office to pay his uk council tax. They refused it saying it was a cow, however as it had every peice of information required it legally consituted a cheque so the council had to either accept the cow or give him a year tax free. He enjoyed that year without council tax.

    Fun fact: in Germany there is a limit to with how many coins you are actually allowed to pay. No shop has to accept a payment in more than 50 coins. So if the story with the penny-Karen would have happened in Germany, the guy could have just declined the payment (of course after making her carry all the bags). But I like the actual resolution even more!

      I think there's a similar one in the UK - each denomination of coin has a maximum value it can pay, £1 for 1 and 2p, £5 for 5 and 10p etc. If you have too many coins, you get coin bags from the bank, sort them into them, and get the bank to give you cash.
      Incidentally, that's how my sister and I got to have spending money when we went on holiday when we were kids. Dad had this whisky can he'd fill with loose change and then we'd get to sort them out. _That_ is how you keep a couple of autistic kids occupied for a day! XD

      As far as I know in Germany bridal shops have had an old custom retained for a long time: to pay for the bridal shoes in pennies! I don't know if this custom is still adhered to. We have changed to Euros several years back (about 20 years). And I'm 65 now. Thus I'm not up-to-date on current wedding customs.
      At the same time Banks don't have such a coin limit. On the other hand they have the machines to deal with it as well.

      In the U.S., there is a law saying that all coins are legal tender, but there is also no requirement for any private business to accept a payment in pennies either. I have gone to a couple gas stations that actually have signs posted that they will only accept up to $5 in coin transactions. As a cashier at a fast food place, I commonly get customers paying with over $10 in quarters for their purchase, which I don't mind as much as some who use smaller coins.

He said he wanted to get revenge on the attorney and make him carry them to the bank. I looked at him red in face and angry as a hornet and shouted "You aren't punishing him, You are punishing me!!! I'm the one who has to drag them to the bank." He paid in checks for the rest of the judgement.

And when I rolled all the pennies that I had accumulated, getting them ready to take to my credit union, thank God I have a stair lift, it made it so easy to get them down stairs without having to carry them ...... and then I used my "old lady" shopping cart to get the to the car, then from the car into the Credit Union ...... the cashier thought it was a brilliant (her words) idea that I used the cart rather than trying to carry such a heavy load of coins.

    The penny story reminded me of a friend from back in the '80s. She had just started her law practice and one of her clients was dragging his heals on paying her bill. He lost his divorce case due to being a cheating asshole, which he had admitted to in open court. After many threats of garnishment and more court proceedings he finally paid his bill. He sent an armored car with the entire $5k plus in boxed rolled pennies. She took one look at the first hand cart full and told the armored car personnel to take it to her bank directly and handed them a deposit slip. So, he went through all that trouble to be a petty prick with an end result of only causing himself more work.

    I worked at a gas station a long time ago with one of those over-flowing penny "give and take" dishes. When I had the upteenth person want to empty the entire dish to make up the shortfall for their smokes or alcohol, I started dumping the dish out and putting the same value in silver coins out of sight of the customers, and keeping less than five cents in the dish at a time. Also had people walk up and ask what they could get with the money from that dish, which also peeved me. Didn't take it for myself, but I was tired of people feeling entitled to ALL of the dish's contents, and not leaving any for someone only a few cents short, as it was meant to be. BTW, these same people were forever nagging at ME to cover their shortfall daily for smokes and alcohol, and they'd ask for dollars worth each time. Peed me off no end, as I could barely manage rent at the time, much less food and utilities! I told them honestly that I couldn't afford to help them, since I couldn't make ends meet WITH a full time job, thanks for asking. Politely but firmly.

      He shouted '''don't you know who I am?''.
      The check in lady got on the p/a system and loudly said ''can I have your attention please as we have a man here who doesn't know who he is.can someone come and help him''

    Here in the UK there are laws that prevent Karens (or anyone else, but mostly Karens) from paying in small-denomination coins.
    One-penny coins are legal tender in amounts not exceeding 20p. If you try to pay someone with more than twenty pennies, they re within their rights to refuse to accept them.
    I saw this happen once. It was a great free show.

    Story 1 i can relate to because I am hard or hearing and I know people who are deaf. Hearing aids are just that Aids not cures. People who are truly deaf most of the time don't benefit from hearing aids because they had no hearing to aid. Some deaf can have hearing restored by use of cochlear implants and even then it does not restore hearing to adequate level especially if they get them late in life since the brain does not know how to interpret those signals. it does work for some but not all. So when Karen assumed that only completely deaf needed them I rolled my eyes, since I know how they actually worked.

    In Australia the smallest coin is 5c and we have 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 and $2 coins. No-one is required to accept more than $5 in 5, 10, or 20c coins; $10 in 50c and $1 coins; or $20 in $2 coins. You can only use $10 notes up to a limit of $100. You can offer payment in lots of coins but they do not have to be accepted. It is also legal for people to refuse to take cash, provided they have a sign saying so. They can insist on cards or cheques. This usually happens where a lot of money is changing hands such as university registration days where thousands of students are paying fees. It is easier and safer for the University not to have hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash on the premises.

    Funny malicious compliance of my own just a couple of years ago. I went to Lowe’s to purchase a toolbox. It was supposed to be $120 or so (some Craftsman combo toolbox) but the one I picked up didn’t have a sticker. The cashier ran an item search, found something similar for $20 (!!) and rang it up as that item. My wife and I both tried correcting the cashier, but she wasn’t having it and claimed she had the right one. After two such attempts, I figured I wasn’t going to argue more for a higher price and so got a crazy good deal on some tools. :)
