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 - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
