I was in a store this week and the guy in front of me in line was paying. His bill was like $74. So He takes out a wad of bills, hands the lady a 50 and a 20, and says "it's ok!" she says no, 4 dollars. so he gives her the 4 dollars.
where does this come from?????????? its not like he opened his wallet and didnt have enough, or hid so she could not see what was in it. he openly took out a wad of bills but was just not in the mood of paying?? im shocked! what happened to chillul Hashem? do ppl think others owe them something? u buy something, u pay for it. its too expensive? noone is making u shop in their store.
I just can get over it.

That's really weird. The man is either mentally unstable or from a country where you bargain for everything. I don't think it is a lack of mentchlichkeit.

no. u can tell he knew what it was. if u want to bargain, theres a way to do it, not when the woman is holding her hand out for money.

maybe he is a generous man and he gives a discount in the store he works or owns?

I just don't think that one individual who exhibits bizarre behavior warrants a thread titled "what happened to mentchlichkeit?" I would argue that 99.9% of people in this country pay the total.

I was living in a horrible apt. The landlord finally got someone to come and fix it. They had a deal, to do this, it costs x. Well, the job was done and the "frum" landlord says, that's he's not paying it all, it's too much!!!! Chutzpah! So, what can the guy do? Either get less or go to court? So, he took less, but of course, he said he will not work for him again, unless he's paid up front. It's totally a cultural thing imo. And a chutzpadik thing!

I've worked in retail and I've seen that before, but not for $4 . What about people who have "only one thing" and go in front of you w/o asking. It's happened to me here. When I lived in the states, they at least ask, but then they pick up this and that and pay with a $100 bill for a $5 purchase.
