It was just a bad day today. I couldn't wait to leave work. After work I stopped at the grocery store and I was then going to pay for my groceries with a debit card, and then get cash back, so I could pay for a egg drop soup and a tea at the chinese restaurant with cash. After I scanned my card, and put in my password to pay for my groceries, the message came up with would you like cash back. I chose yes. I then entered the amount, I wanted $10. You can't get $10 too many places anymore, usually the lowest amount is $20. I made a mistake typing in the amount . Before I had a chance to cancel or correct, the authorization, which never seems to go this fast, showed up. The cashier, said I could do it again, but I told her that the authorization had gone through. As I was saying that to the cashier , I heard the sound of the register opening. I was then the recipient of 10 cents instead of ten dollars.
