Its more about the theft or stupidity of the staff I worry about

If you can't do anything more about it, then put it down to experience.
Don't waste any more of your time on them m8.
And a bit of advice:
Don't take Rooksie shopping with ya. EVER

Anyway, I was soo annoyed after 10 minutes I was shaking, she gave me a bit of paper to write my details on, and I was so hyper I couldn't write, I was shaking with indignant anger
I gave the paper back to her and told her I would dictate my details and she could write them(i don't think she took that too well either 
) . Really thats how annoyed I was. To hand over a fifty and to be told 10 seconds later it was a twenty
To be told the next day that they've tallied up the tills and yes it was a twenty
It'll be the most expensive $30 they ever steal

Re: A good old fashioned rant
What an absolute load of ballshit. How many times have I told you to bring your work to me before sending it to the printers.
Your letter is ultra repetitive; going over and over the same points. Anyone reading it feels like they are walking around a maze of thick syrup.
You wrote this when emotions were still running high and consequently have rabbitted on far too long. You needed to write this when you had cooled off a bit and could be composed and selectively cutting.
This topic was an ideal one for big brash factual bullet points which would have got the message home very loud and clear but you have diluted it by babbling.
Your point on advocacy is an excellent one. I just hope they read that far down the letter.
Consider yourself lectured. "Could do better".
I hope you get your 30 bucks back otherwise I suppose we'll be doing a sponsored event with procedes to the ADL injustice fund. Sponsored raindance probably

So go on, you re-write it then, I'll deliver it in the morning on the way into work. I don't think I can do the re-write cos as Phoenix says, I'm still too wound up about it.
And I'll publish the reply on the thread here

What is important is that you get it off your chest and tell it as it is.
Lets hope the storekeeper sees the emotion within the letter anyway, cos this will help him see how upset this has made you.
A good thing I'd have thought
Certainly made me think it had

Re: A good old fashioned rant
Dear sirs,
It is with much regret I have to write to express my disatisfaction with the service I received at your newsagency yesterday.
I handed the attendant a 50 bill and she only gave me change for a 20.
My protestations fell on deaf ears hence I must plead to your goodself for recompense in this matter.
Now hand over my ****ing money by return of post or you won't have a ****ing shop by next week.
Yours, in honesty.
IRAte customer.

Re: A good old fashioned rant
Make sure when you deliver it, you wear your best pin stripe suit wi a carnation.....and carry a violin case
- Re -write the letter incorporating the odd Italian word in it.
- Make sure you put some bollognaise sauce on yer chin
- Put cotton wool in yer cheeks and try sound like the Godfather
- Spit at him while your talkin, at least if you don't get yer money back, you get some satisfaction you've taken the piss
