You make such good points!
So let’s break this down...
• this ‘Hincher’ would have had to be paying by cash to specifically know the amount needed and by how far she was ‘over’.
• it was self service (at an unnamed supermarket...
) so you know what your total is AS YOU GO, meaning you wouldn’t scan an extra item if you knew you’d reached your budget.
• as you rightly say Yel, if the coins were in the machine WHICH THEY’D HAVE TO BE for all reasons mentioned above, then the only other option would be to finish with an alternative method which would mean only paying the £4-5 either by card or more cash. So...not the full amount then.
• the only other way would be to cancel the
whole payment, have the cash spat back out to the Hincher for Grinch to have come in like a saviour wafting her *gifted platinum card and use
THAT finger to prod away at the till. The detail she went into on that story indicates she would have told us if this were the case.
SHE IS SUCH A TERRIBLE LIAR
