One recent morning, I was getting my coffee at the Haley Center coffee shop. I noticed that the guy that works there every morning never gives me a receipt, so this morning I asked for one so I could see my balance. He didn't want to give it to me and showed me my balance on the screen, but I kept after it. I said I wanted my receipt again. He gave it to me finally after he had balled it up...he charged me for a muffin that I didn't order so there was a $7 charge on my card. I then told him I didn't order that and he said, "Oh, oh yeah". He then took my card back to put the money back on it.
I just checked my Tiger Card balance and he never refunded the money.
This is the only money I have for the whole semester for food on campus, and I don't appreciate this. I don't think it's fair for the staff on campus to take advantage of us. I know it's only a few dollars but the fact that he acted so shady and still didn't refund me for something he charged me for, and I didn't get, really bothers me. If it would have been an honest mistake then I would understand, but the whole fact of the matter is that it wasn't a mistake, and if you would have seen his demeanor you would completely understand what I'm talking about. You may want to tell everyone to get their receipts for purchases on campus. I know I will from now on!
