Yesterday I went to watch a movie with a friend and the thing was he pre-purchased the tickets ahead of time and got a cheaper deal since there were a few of us. For myself I usually always want to use the credit card and was anticipating in purchasing it through those machines that are in the theatres now. As a result of this though, I had to pay him back in cash.
Unfortunately, all I had was $20 bills and the ticket was only about $7. So at fist I told him to just keep the twenty dollars since no one had any change. His reaction was interesting as he said if it was $10 that would be different but there is no way he is taking $20 as that is way too much. Therefore, he scrambled for some change in his pocket to give back to me. It wasn’t even still, but he definitely didn’t want to take so much.
This happens a lot and usually in this situation everyone simply remembers the times where the person spent more than necessary so that if a situation comes up in the future where there is a bill again then you can factor that difference into it. Of course, the other way around would have been for me to simply not give anything until I got some change and saw him another time. But then I would have to be the one to remember it right? lol
