Would you?

I had to pop to Tesco on the way to work this morning and pick up a few bits.

The lady in front of me in at the checkout had shopping that came to £20.34p. She had £20 in her purse and not a scrap of change, so she handed the checkout operator the £20 and put the 34p on her credit card.

Would you ever use plastic for the lowly sum of 34p?

that was nice of you netibiza

Never mind, you can send me the £10 instead. Always willing to help out if I can.

I'd put the whole bill on and put the £20 back in my purse.

[NoMercy]

That's exactly what I would have done, China, or even paid £10 cash and £10.34 on the card.

Even halving it is too much like faffing around for me and I'm not a very patient person at all, (one of my biggest failings).

I'm surprised you're allowed to put such a small amount on a plastic card.

Personally, I would have put it all on the card and kept the £20 cash. I'd feel a bit awkward putting 34p on a card.

I once saw someone try to buy 2 chocolate bars for 68p and pay by cheque. I think it must have been his first bank account...

Sorry I didn't realise that it was about using the plastic.

lol can i just point out he had already put the money in the till when we realised i was short, otherwise i would of put the lot on my card :-)

I've just envisaged a sort of dilemma. If I had £10 in my purse and wanted to purchase a bottle of wine for £10.49 (and I hadn't got that much in my bank account), would I stick the 49p on my card?

Absofluffinglutely.
