I had a landlord once who was really pedantic about paying rent, insisted on cash, and delivered to them, none of us had a car and they were about an hour bus trip away. One week I was fed up, so paid entirely with coins. It required a pillow case. Strangely enough, we got given a bank account number for the next rent.
Back in college I worked in a pizza place. Right before closing around midnight, a group of very drunk students came in and ordered a large (16") pizza to go. I made it up an put it in the oven. In the meantime, one of the students went to the restroom and barfed all over, which I was shortly going to have to clean for closing. Learning of this, I was NOT happy. We had already rung them up, so after the pizza had baked about 10 minutes (about half the required time), I took it out, cut it in half, put it in the box and handed it over. They walked out, and we locked the door behind them. Never heard anything about it. It was my most spiteful slice ever.
Making a guess as soon as the term "spite slice" was mentioned but before any further watching: The customer paid with a bunch of small coins, so the sandwich was cut into a bunch of pieces, using the same logic (the total amount is the same).
Where I live, most service staff, taxi drivers etc love receiving small change. Because people often pay with big notes, the staff find it hard to make change for them and there is a whole hassle as the staff run around asking coworkers or even other customers if they wouldn’t mind helping out with some small change.
My first thought was that I was reminded of the story of a guy who was in a bar when a stranger bought him eighteen beers and one empty shot glass. Turns out the recipient was a member of the 2007 New England Patriots, who famously won their first 18 games before losing the Super Bowl, and the guy buying the drinks was making a joke at the player's expense.
This reminds me of when I was on residential. There was a woman who cut the pizzas. She asked for a number between 1 and 100. A friend of mine said 99 and got their pizza cut into 99 slices. I said six and got a hexagon. But the last kid who got all the leftover toppings had his pizza cut into a salad without even having the question asked.
Brings back memories, this... One time, about 15 years ago, in a big store in Amsterdam, 3 persons kept 2 cashiers busy and quite a number of people, with us in front, waiting, paying for a flatscreen TV, a mediaplayer (could it have been a bluray?) and a car stereo for €1200. They paid with €20 bills, and one cashier grouped them in 5 bill fans, so the other cashier could scan them faster. Good thing none of the bills caused a FAIL alarm...
In England we have £50 notes as the highest denomination but they're so rare I don't think I've seen one since before the pandemic. A £1200 cash purchase would nearly always be in £20s here. In Scotland they have £100 notes so that could be done in 12 notes instead of 60 in England. In Europe though you can do it with 3 notes with your €200 & €500 notes

Working in retail for many years, I've had plenty of customers pay with large amounts of small change. usually either kids who saved their pocket money or adults who won on the pokies the night before. I never had a problem with it. If you work with enough cash, you get very fast at counting it. My tip would be to just hand over the pile of coins and let the retailer count it. they will be much quicker.
I will be much quicker and I have to count anything that goes into my drawer anyways, so if *you* count it then we're going to sit here as it gets counted a second time. I really have no problem with people giving me large amounts of change, so long as there isn't a big line, and we're not too close to closing time. Honestly I have far more problem with people walking up to me and buying something for $10, and handing me a $50 or $100 when they literally watched me walk up to the counter and just put my till in. C'mon, I don't have the money to break that, you'll wipe my drawer.
I really enjoyed the dynamic of this group. There were a few really good ones, but this one really stood out. May be people to work with some day. Also Jason, is that a random Belgian license plate you got there? That's usually something the Dutch literally steer clear of, Belgian license plates, especially when attached to cars, and on the road.
Yes! It is the license plate of the last car that I owned. I sold it in 2013, while living in Belgium. There's your little nugget of NJB lore for the day.
my guess was some american had asked for a double quarter pounder, and the shop interpreted that to mean a 1 pound sandwich cut into quarters twice (recursively).
How the change issue flipped on its head since cashless payment went big. Usually, shopkeepers would love to receive change, since they were often paid with big bills so after half day of work they started running low on change. I'm not sure how many he needed to count, but it's a sandwich, so with 10p it would probably be not that many.
i thought it might be a pedant sandwich barista who received an order along the lines "i want a sandwich with tomatoes and mozzarella, and make it the same for my 15 friends"
If they'd paid in 1p pieces then I'd say that's a pretty big issue. But 10p? A sandwich isn't super expensive, so there wouldn't have been all that many 10p coins involved. And at least around here, most stores appreciate receiving exact change since they run out of it all the time for customers who pay only with larger bills. So although it depends on the price of the sandwich, I'd say that the customer probably wasn't the asshole.
I've never worked food service retail, but I would assume that a very large factor (which doesn't seem to be recorded here) is what day it was, what time of day, and how busy the shop was. If it was a super-slow period, then fine, if you're running the register/till you just count it up and dump it in the drawer. But if it's the lunch rush, and there's 10 people in line, and this yoik throws down dozens of coins to pay for a sandwich instead of a reasonable bill (or a credit card) then they've completely broken the flow and wasted a bunch of people's time. At that point I would absolutely punitively cut up their sandwich.
@@Gamesaucer Being harmlessly petty to someone who was an utter berk to me in a professional situation where it wasn't appropriate to call them an idiot? Sounds like a perfectly good coping mechanism to me.
@@fsodn "was an utter berk to me in a professional situation" I'm sorry to hear you are so deeply offended by having to interact with poor people. We don't have all the facts, let's not assume malice of complete strangers.
@@Poldovico Yes. I was assuming the payer was doing so just to be a jerk. It hadn't occurred to me that that's the only denominations they had the money in. Point very well taken; thank you for pointing that out.
My initial thought was, if you cut a sandwich into 16 slices, you usually would do that so that you can take them with a fork, and not need to use a knife. So my train of thought would go into checking if the knife was absent or something like that.
In the U.S. at least, you can order a burger (or maybe...sandwich?) with four patties and four slices of cheese, by asking it "four by four," which I think would be very apt!
So because the sandwich artist had to fiddle with the change he decided to fiddle even more cutting the sandwich? I'm totally with the customer here - money is money
@@UngodlyFreak In the grand scheme of things - it doesn't matter. But if I'm pissed by someone because he arguably made me do more work the last thing I'd want to do is do even more work in a petty attempt to teach him a lesson.
Worked in a cafe once and this guy on two occasions, complained that his sandwich wasn’t hot enough despite the fact that one of them was hot enough to burn me through the plastic gloves He was incredibly rude about it both times So next time he came in we loaded it with an immense amount of Tabasco What made it better was when he came back to complain about it, our manager just replied, “oh sorry, we wanted to make sure it was extra hot this time”
3:45 - That story about how crisps (that Americans call chips) were invented proves that French fries were sliced potatoes, not batons (i.e. not what Brits call chips)
My first assumption, don't know if it's correct To have 16, you'd take your standard 2 bread slice sandwich like in my PFP, half it, half those halves, so you've got little crusty corners, and then you'd have to half all of those halves I feel like when it comes to catering and stuff like that, the crusty quarters are the ideal size in my opinion, but maybe it's some stingy catering thing where the person ordered as many sandwiches as 2 slices of bread gets you, and they go 16 mini sandwiches that would usually have toothpicks in them at a buffet or something
Nah that's a dick move, i've been in that situation where i've had to dig in my coin jar to get change for a sandwich to avoid adding an extra 20min on to the walk to go to a cashpoint.
But then I couldn't have fed the 63 pennies of change I accumulated over a year at uni into the self-service machine to buy a chocolate bar on my last day.
We do have such a law in the UK but it's quite a bit more permissive. You can pay with 1p and 2p coins up to 20p value, 5p and 10p up to £5 value, 20p and 50p up to £10 value. So someone could well pay for something costing £5 with a hundred tiny 5p coins.
I'm on the side of the customer. Before I started paying for everything with a card, I used to make a point of always sticking lose change into a piggy bank rather than carry it with me. One day I realized I had more than enough change in there for a large pizza, I counted it out, made sure there was enough for a decent tip, and ordered a pizza delivery. I remember the driver taking it in good humour but pointing out he now knew where I lived if he got back to the restaurant and there wasn't enough 😀 Like what else should I do, spend 4 hours in a queue at the bank to exchange it?
When you buy groceries, before it's your turn take a peek into your wallet and approximate what you can muster up. When it's time to pay, pay with whatever bills are necessary and the exact value in cent/pence if possible. You get an easy full euro/pound/dollar value back which might eventually mean you can get the entire amount straight. Obviously, the peek is crucial, because you can say right away "Oh, I got 27 cents for sure", know that there's a 20c, 5c and a 2c and fish them out instead of rummaging and holding the line up.
and here I was thinking that paying with small coins is what the foodchains want... at least the one where we usually go for lunch, when I pay with a larger bill (e.g. 10 € for 6,70 € meal) they always ask me if I have some change instead. It's probably because lot of people pay with bigger bills and they need to change to give them back... so I would guess paying with 0,1 € coins would make them happy... Of course, not 67×10cent coins... or, If I were to pay like that, I would arrange it in columns by 10 coins so they can easily count it
Never thought about it before but I think triangular ones do taste better. I think it's the width, a lot of it is narrow enough to come at it sideways and you get all the bits and crust at the same time.
I thought perhaps somebody asked for a bi-lateral cut, and the order just put "bi", and then the next person saw it upside down, or backwards? and saw 1-6. 🙂
My guess (wrong, obviously) was that the man had gone to the sandwich shop and ordered 16 sandwiches for his group... right before closing. Anyone who's worked in food prep would think this a just response.
If the sandwich buyer was poor/a beggar, it would make sense that he/she would accummulate and save the coins to aggregate to the cost of the sandwich? On the seller's side, it would give change for those who would pay with large size value coins (obvioulsy not bitcoins!)/bank notes.
"non-crusty hypotenuse " ... "surface area - to volume - ratio" ... unfortunately Matt Parker, the expert on squares, was not participating in this episode
So from "spite slice" I jumped straight to malicious compliance - thinking maybe he rudely asked for "extra lettuce - as many slices as possible" or something like that... Disappointed that wasn't the answer.
I mean, I was seriously sitting here … "Guy on twitter … 16 small pieces … Fast food … Did someone slice up Donald Trump's sandwich into tiny pieces to match his reportedly tiny hands?" I mean it's not right I figured, but … what's more important here? Being right or laughable memes? That's correct: Laughable memes. Always laughable memes. And non-crusty hypotenuses. Hypotenusii? Whatever.
If the guy was paying with small coins to be a dick, I'm on the sandwich artist's side. If he apologised and it was all he had, don't make his day worse.
I mean he paid the correct amount with legal tender, he should receive the same product as anyone else, so regardless of the 'awkwardness' of counting the change, they should receive the same product....?? I feel like an ego got in the way here 😆
iam on the side of the buyer... because you paid with real money, just because you dont like the work of counting it you cant just ruin the product you sold. i always had the opposite problem when i worked in a photo shop some 25years ago,.. it was near a bank... so everyone coming in to photocopy (yeah that was still a thing) paid the 10p for a copy with a 100DM bill.. just because i didnt like it and had to close the shop down regularly to exchange money at the bank to have new change again doesnt mean i can just cut the copy to pieces..
So the sandwich "artist" was angry for being paid in change, never once considering that the man (or woman) was some poor homeless person that had been collecting coins to finally get a meal? Yes I've seen this happen and paid for the poor guys food myself, knowing there but for the Grace of God.
Within reason. Yeah, I can understand paying for a sandwich with loose change, but if you're trying to buy something that costs more than 20 euros by emptying your piggy-bank on the counter, we're going to have a problem.
It's legal to buy with a certain amount of loose change and the poor guy might have scraped together all he had to get something to eat. May have been homeless.
After this I will forever use the term "non-crusty hypotenuse" to describe the optimal place to bite into a sandwich.
And make sure to always use nice slices rather than spite slices ;)

Never thought about it before but I think triangular ones do taste better. I think it's the width, a lot of it is narrow enough to come at it sideways and you get all the bits and crust at the same time.
why does it look like jay foreman is calling in from the blair witch project
5:48 Ahhh.. He insisted on paying with pennies or something
At first, I thought maybe it was his spouse who did it… lol
I thought perhaps somebody asked for a bi-lateral cut, and the order just put "bi", and then the next person saw it upside down, or backwards? and saw 1-6. 🙂
My guess (wrong, obviously) was that the man had gone to the sandwich shop and ordered 16 sandwiches for his group... right before closing. Anyone who's worked in food prep would think this a just response.
My guess is that he was the inventor of those annoying sliding tile puzzles.
Guess at 4:36 did they pay for the sandwich in pennies or other small coins?
A divisive topic🤣
If the sandwich buyer was poor/a beggar, it would make sense that he/she would accummulate and save the coins to aggregate to the cost of the sandwich? On the seller's side, it would give change for those who would pay with large size value coins (obvioulsy not bitcoins!)/bank notes.
Jay!!
Could of got Geoff Marshall involved in this as well 😅
Is Jay in Witness Protection or something?
the car was the only room in the house where he wouldn’t wake the baby up.
"non-crusty hypotenuse " ... "surface area - to volume - ratio" ... unfortunately Matt Parker, the expert on squares, was not participating in this episode
If you couldn't do that, change wouldn't really be money, would it?
Why is Jay Foreman clearly in his car?
Puzzling as always, man.
Wait… this channel has been here the whole time?
Tom I didn't know about this channel please advertise it more
What's the sandwich spicy?
16 spicy bites
Triangles are easier to eat as you can bite from the corners.
Rectangular sandwiches have more corners, so they should be even easier.
A nice riddle but I seriously doubt that it happened.
I have never been to a shop that requires payment before they start making your food.
It's quite common in British cafes and sandwich shops where the food is made to order.
“Munch” by spice slice
So from "spite slice" I jumped straight to malicious compliance - thinking maybe he rudely asked for "extra lettuce - as many slices as possible" or something like that...
Disappointed that wasn't the answer.
I mean, I was seriously sitting here … "Guy on twitter … 16 small pieces … Fast food … Did someone slice up Donald Trump's sandwich into tiny pieces to match his reportedly tiny hands?" I mean it's not right I figured, but … what's more important here? Being right or laughable memes?
That's correct: Laughable memes. Always laughable memes. And non-crusty hypotenuses. Hypotenusii? Whatever.
If the guy was paying with small coins to be a dick, I'm on the sandwich artist's side. If he apologised and it was all he had, don't make his day worse.
I will be sad the answer wasn't because he asked for 4 squared cuts.
I mean he paid the correct amount with legal tender, he should receive the same product as anyone else, so regardless of the 'awkwardness' of counting the change, they should receive the same product....?? I feel like an ego got in the way here 😆
Kip means chicken in dutch
Sandvich
iam on the side of the buyer... because you paid with real money, just because you dont like the work of counting it you cant just ruin the product you sold.
i always had the opposite problem when i worked in a photo shop some 25years ago,.. it was near a bank... so everyone coming in to photocopy (yeah that was still a thing) paid the 10p for a copy with a 100DM bill..
just because i didnt like it and had to close the shop down regularly to exchange money at the bank to have new change again doesnt mean i can just cut the copy to pieces..
I spice lice? Or whatever...
So the sandwich "artist" was angry for being paid in change, never once considering that the man (or woman) was some poor homeless person that had been collecting coins to finally get a meal? Yes I've seen this happen and paid for the poor guys food myself, knowing there but for the Grace of God.
Money is Money. doesnt matter if its 1000 tiny coins or one big note
Within reason. Yeah, I can understand paying for a sandwich with loose change, but if you're trying to buy something that costs more than 20 euros by emptying your piggy-bank on the counter, we're going to have a problem.
Sandwich is sandwich. Doesn’t matter if it’s 16 tiny slices or one big slab.
@@JayForeman actually...fair enough :D
It's legal to buy with a certain amount of loose change and the poor guy might have scraped together all he had to get something to eat. May have been homeless.
Nah, debatable who was in the wrong. Hungry guy could have been broke and needed to use his change jar.
Why is Jay in a car?!
Because his baby would not like it if Jay would be talking will it tries to sleep.

These highlights sound a lot like what happens when a bunch of DnD players hyperfocus on something completely irrelevant 😄.
Too bad if the guy had run out of money for the fortnight, and he only had loose change until his social security came through.
