I would have said “having a bad day?“ or something like that. I don‘t accuse people of being something unless I‘m dam sure they are.

I too have been a cashier. In very, very busy situations and I would never put any stress I am feeling on my customers. Customers are always right. You can say I‘m sorry but I can‘t make change for your two dollars. Saying a big fat “NO“ with negative body language is just ignorant. I‘ve done that job at various places and I‘ve never been rude.
