"I was paying my DStv subscription on Wednesday and I thought I had carried R450, when I asked the lady at the till how much was due, she said R493, so I said, damn, I only have R450. I asked her to just make it all R450 and that I will come again for the balance...
"After she counted the money, she asked me how much I gave her and I said R450. She said to me: 'This is R500, sir'. I said then make it R500... and thanked her."
@BonganiZwane18 shared:
"I was a cashier and old people used to make money transfer. In most cases, it happened to me. One lady gave R5 000 and wanted to transfer R3 000 to her grandchildren so I had to take R3 000 and R30 for charges... To be honest I almost got tempted..."
These netizens thanked Byron for being honest
