One Cent Short of Full Jerk

Me: What's the problem?
Trainee: This guy wanted twenty dollars on four, but it only pumped 12.01.
Costumer: It's 12.00.
Me: Okay, just subtract that from twenty and pre-pay what's left onto the pump.
Trainee: Okay, I'll just pre-pay 7.99 onto the pump and you can pump the rest sir.
Customer: No, it only pumped 12.00. That's what the pump said.
Me: Sir, the register has it as 12.01. And I'm looking at the pump. It's 12.01.
Trainee: I can't get it to pre-pay...
(I check the pump)
Me: Sir, your going to have to hang up the pump in-order for us to pre-pay you. It keeps telling us it's in use.
Customer: Yeah, because it stopped when I wanted it to pump my gas!
Me: Sir, if you go out and hang it up, then wait a second or two for us to pre-pay, you can start pumping again.
(man goes out and pumps then proceeds to pay us an extra visit)
Customer: You might want to have your pumps checked because that pump said I pumped 12.00 and NOT 12.01.
Me: Sir, the person before you got 12.00 and they paid at the pump, so what you were seeing was theirs. I don't need to go check anything.

It was a penny. There are like ten in my change holder. Take one, but you can't buy manners with it.
