I bought a bag of 6 breads for 1.8 yuan, and deliberately picked the hard ones that I like the most. The boss picked a bag of soft white ones and asked me to change. He pinched them with his hands to show that they were soft, and he gave up only after I insisted. The milk tea uncle finally let me know that milk tea generally only costs 50 cents. In the past, I paid 1 yuan and never got a return. He took the initiative to return 50 cents.
