Yesterday I was trying to make dinner so I remembered I wanted
some sweet corn but I did not have any at home, kia kia I drove to the nearest
mart to pick one up, I got to the cashier and this all-too-familiar
conversation ensued.
Cashier: No change.
Me: Ok?
She looks away, perhaps wishing in her head I would disappear.
Me: Ehen?
Cashier: No change!
Me: What am I supposed to do? Look for change for you? Why is she looking at me like Lucozade?
Mind you, I gave her 500 Naira, the sweet corn cost 250
naira.
naira.
Cashier: There’s no change.
I understand what no change means, what I don’t understand is
why this babe cannot comot from where she stand to go and ask her manager or
look for change at least! Shuo.
Me: Oya, where’s your manager?
Cashier: He’s not around, aunty abeg I want to attend to
anoda customer… and she tries to dismiss me with that. But una know say I can
stubborn pass he-goat, so I stood my ground.
anoda customer… and she tries to dismiss me with that. But una know say I can
stubborn pass he-goat, so I stood my ground.
Me: So because no manager you cannot get change? What you
mean to tell me is that you have not sold up to 250 naira since morning? If I
call the owner of this store will he be happy to hear this? Don’t worry, Let me
see how you will give another person change today.

Change appeared few minutes later.
If I count the amount of change I have left in these Lagos
stores/kiosk/traders etc, e don pass 10000, ahn ahn! Please tell me I’m not the
only person experiencing this No Change drama. I actually believe it is a new
business strategy, you cannot convince me otherwise!

Another time I went to buy Meat Pie from this fast food outlet and
because I was so hungry, I don dey munch the meatpie already, next thing the
attendant just said “ aunty we don’t have change oh”… See me see wahala, I don
almost chop the meat pie finish… The way he said it, he expected me to say “Ok, no wahala” and then gerrout of the place. I’m sorry, you’re not in luck
today. If I want to dash money, I will dash. You have to give me my change sir,
mo sorry gan.

So I told him, “ bros, you have to find change or I will
drop this half meatpie and go away with my money OR we will bring the money and tear it into two so you keep your half and the half meatpie” he must have realized say he don jam Aso Rock: a hungry Sisi is a very very angry Sisi. Next thing this guy goes into their koro office
and change magically appears!Hurrah! Mstcheww!

Another time I bought Indomie and expected change of at
least 500 naira and I was told “aunty pick another thing worth 500 naira, we
don’t have change” Hell oh Hell. Noooooo! I don’t want to pick another thing,
give me my change. “Do you want Tom-Tom? Or Digestive Biscuit? Or Tin Milk?” He proded.

Do not fall for that strategy oh! That day mo gba change mi,
nonsense and ingredients. Na today yansh dey back? If you like be doing big boy and big girl in Lagos, they will use “No Change” to finish your salary. My first expereinces: I always leave the change with them if it’s less than 100 naira, if its more than then I allow them bamboozle me that I can come back to get it another time. I never go back.

My eye don dey shook this time, make nobody try me. Give me my change!
I know this too well! Gosh, very annoying. But me I never leave my change too. I either stand there till I get my change or drop the item.lol
Do you know how much they make from 'aunty we no get change'? hian, such thiefry
like seriously, 9ja don vex oh! this is so annoying to know. something has to be done about balance issuing. otherwise,CBN prints a smaller dominations of money. Weldone Sisi
Lol…jibiti, they might as we'll add gratuity to your bill.
Awon onyara pple,I never leave my change for them oh sisi they don't kno we're on to them
Lol….jibiti. They might as well add gratuity to your bill.
Lool this happens to me all the time!! I think it's just a trick. As for me I just drop the item and get my money back. No one is going to exploit me
Lool this happens to me all the time!! I think it's just a trick. As for me I just drop the item and get my money back. No one is going to exploit me.
lool! smh* I am sure she said it like it was her right to keep the change sef
Haaaa! I just drop the item and leave the store oh. After all, no be only you dey sell market for area. Pschew. My ijebu blood is too strong for me to be dashing people change up and down, especially knowing that the sales people would carefully tally up all their "no-change, you can keep the change" they got that day and pocket the money.
Gba be!!!!!!!!!! Sure girl!!!!! Most of the time, I always have change…..odawise, I nor even want product again!
I have this problem every day! I am literally cussing by the time I leave the store.
LOL THAT IS WHAT UK TEACHERS YOU THE VALUE OF MONEY… I USE TO LEAVE CHANGE OOO THOSE DAYS BUT IF I FIND MYSELF IN LAGOS AGAIN OMO I DON'T THINK I WOULD LEAVE CHANGE… BEFORE I GIVE OR LEAVE CHANGE MAN YOU GOT TO WORK FOR IT AT LEAST SOMEHOW.
lol.. most tym i jus leave d change nd go away.. but henceforth i must to collect my change o
Na so na. Nonsense mshewww i wee collect my something
They always come up with new strategies just to gba people. As for CBN and the high denominations they keep printing I have nothing to say
They always come up with new strategies just to gba people.
Omo no time ooo, ma gba changy me straight or I keep there item, by d time 10 customers leave without buying anything manager go come into d matter.
Hilarious!
lol Sisi Yemmie you are so funny…that is what they do sha and it can be frustrating
Lol. Thats the in thing with store attendants these days, and the rude way they tell you no change is annoying. Cab drivers are on another level of "no change" entirely.
lmao sisiyemmie is something else..not only lagos , ibadan too. cabd drivers re worse, you either drop or they take you back to the busstop. I always go back to get my change.
This is so very familiar..sometimes in order to avoid too much talk I just walk away *sigh*
Often I pick an item worth the amount of the change. Once I gave a boy lecture on why he shouldn't have talked to me dismissively over my hard earned ten naira. lol And once I went to buy gizzard from a frozen food store and the customer service was good, I commended them and promised to come back, cos the owner of the store seeing that her attendants were having difficulty in getting my correct change, stood up, went to her car to find my complete change. I left smiling. Now that's what I call customer service. No change for where?!
So its not only you. I don't fall for that scam o. Fortunately, it always happens in the area, and I tell my younger ones to return the item if the person can't find change. Guess what, the change always appears. Rubbish and nonsense.
After a while, they will say government is corrupt, yet we find ways to scam our fellow men, and on sunday, claim one religion or the other.
Rubbish and nonsense. I am sure you can tell that I am pissed.
Lol! Omo no story…gimme my change or i carry my kaya go anoda place…simples! The manner with which dey say it (esp d ladies) is even whats more off putting.
lol. this happens even in shops that sell below #100 products..God help us sha. visit my blog @ http://www.raajusblog.blogspot.com
Lol @ na today yansh dey back! This "No Change" business taking Lagos by storm…there must be a secret course that they're taking o. Lol 😀
