I frowned and demanded, “So, what do you expect me to do?” The salesman’s response or rather his no response got to me even further. I cannot begin to count the countless number of times I have had to leave my change with salesmen and women without complaining. And for some reason today, I was not about to succumb to this ‘ no change matter.’
Yes, granted it’s just forty Naira (some of you would say) and an amount that I can do without, but I was so upset by the fact that at this shop they never seem to have change. I will not single them out, as most other service providing places across the capital too hardly seem to have change. I mean, count all the forty and twenty Naira notes that others before me and after me would leave behind if no one gives them change and then maybe it would make sense.
“Look, I am not about to leave this forty Naira with you, do you understand? Today I’m not prepared to, honestly. Call your manager or supervisor, because I am not parting with this change,” I riposted.
