When I was a cashier they recommended we not do this kind of thing, because there are some fast-talk scams people will do to get more money. Like they'll give you more money, say something confusing, take the money back, and then you give them the extra change, except more sophisticated than that.

They were called “quick-” or”short-change artists”. They still exist, just not as common because people carry far less cash than they used to.

I know someone who did the scam by accident. Mentioned the number 50 talking to his friend while he was handing the cashier a 20. Got change for 50 euros instead of 20, noticed it later lol
