Asked on Aug 09th, 2015 on Business Litigation - Georgia
More details to this question:
I bought some food at McDonald's and I paid with a 20 but got change for a 5. It was at midnight and I was on a rush to get home so trusting the worker I didn't check the change.
I went back the next morning and the manager said he would tell the store manager , then the store manager said she would send it to her supervisor, so the supervisor calls me
The next day and says he will look into it and call me the next day because that's when he goes into work. It's been 6 days and I haven't heard from them. They called me with a no caller ID
Number so I can't call them back to know the status.

If you can prove a pattern of shortchanging and/or that you were intentionally shortchanged, you may have some sort of consumer fraud claim (consumer fraud statutes vary in each state and I don't know the particular statute which would apply in Georgia, but I'm confident that there is one.) Absent such proof, however (for example, testimony from other customers who had had the same problem), you can sue the store for $15. Since it is basically your word against the store's, you might not win.
