But who knows, the clerk might have just gotten screamed at by the boss for accepting a large bill and was afraid, no matter how reasonable, to accommodate the OP.

Too often, we are intimidated into accepting illogical and unreasonable limits to our problem-solving abilities by micromanagers...

I remember once I filled up at a gas station, only to have the pump continue pumping after my tank was full. It wouldn't shut off, which it was suppose to do automatically when my tank was full, and dumped a considerable amount of gasoline on the ground (that little lever-lock was supposed to spring to "off" when it sensed the tank was full--but it didn't; dumping a couple of gallons of gas on the pavement which I had to pay for).

I asked for the owner's name and contact information so I could log a complaint, but the clerk (sitting behind bullet-proof glass and talking through a little window), told me it was against company policy to give out that information. She was rather rude about it, too.

Talk about protecting one's self!
