Have you ever wondered why Stop N Shop almost always ‘refuses’ to give out .05t’s i.e. always say ‘nogat .05t’ to customers whose change includes .05t? Don’t you ever notice that shop assistants don’t tell you that they short-changed you by .05t unless they see you counting the change and or unless you ask? Is it the customer’s problem that the multimillion kina business can’t afford to give out a lousy .05t change? Or do we have a limited supply of that particular coin floating around in our economy? I have now come to believe it’s a technique deliberately introduced by the stores’ management to squeeze extra money from their customers as most people hardly give any thought to 0.05t’s. I urge every customer visiting this ‘crafty’ shop to insist on their .05t change or do what I do when shop assistants tell you ‘nogat 0.05t’: grab a gum worth .20t or insist on them giving you .10t telling them to ‘recover’ the extra .05t from the next customer they rip off. It always works.
