This happened today. I, 20M, work at a small restaurant. During my shift, a guy probably in his 60s came up to the register and asked me if he could exchange five $10 bills for one $50 bill (I actually don't live in the US, but I'll just write it in dollars to simplify things). He looked like a homeless man and he also didn't buy anything from the restaurant so I was pretty sus of him.
Anyways I said sure, and gave him a $50 bill. However, for some reason I also tried to give him his $10 bills back. (I'm an idiot and terrible at simple math) Of course he won't receive it, and at that point I'm confused as hell, so I asked him to return the $50 bill to reset the whole exchange. He returned the $50 bill to me and said he wants his $10 bills back if I'm not going to exchange his money.
At this point I thought he was a scammer of some sort, and refused to return him any money. (I wasn't aware how much money I even gave/got from him) Then I threatened him to call the police, and he left the restaurant furiously. (He said he'll come back tomorrow) I later checked the register with the extra $50 (= five $10 bills) and realized how fucking stupid I am.
tl/dr: I robbed $50 from an old man and called him a scammer.
P.S. I usually don't work as a register so I was unprepared.
