TIFU by Arguing Over Change at My Local Shop and Getting Banned

Hey fellow Redditors,

So, this just happened in the last hour, and I can't believe the mess I got myself into. Today, I went to my usual local shop, which is the only one I can walk to, as every other store is a 5 to 10-minute drive away. I've never had any problems there before, except for some drunk people causing a ruckus occasionally.

Anyway, I picked up a few items totaling £6 and handed over a £5 note and a £2 coin, making it a total of £7. I was supposed to get £1 change back, right? That's where the trouble started. The cashier insisted I had given them exact change and refused to return the £1.

I'm not one to back down easily, so I argued my point, telling them that I gave them £7 and was owed change. To my surprise, another cashier jumped in and called me a liar! I was stunned and suggested they check the till to verify the cash or even review the security cameras to see the transaction.

But instead of resolving the issue, they accused me further and ended up banning me from the shop! Can you believe that? Now, I'm not only £1 short but also banned from the only convenient shop in my small village.

I'm feeling so frustrated and irritated by this whole ordeal. I can't believe how things escalated, and I can't help but think I should have just let it go. Now, I'm worried about how this will spread in the close-knit community.

I'm here to share this story and also ask for some legal advice on how to deal with the situation. Can I do anything about this unfair treatment and false accusations? Should I try to resolve this amicably or take some action against the shop?

TL;DR: Went to the only nearby shop, handed over £7 for a £6 purchase, and expected £1 change. Cashier accused me of giving exact change, and I got banned after arguing my point. Feeling robbed, frustrated, and in need of legal advice.

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
