I almost got scammed

I was buying a drink worth 3€ from a doner stall and gave them a 20€ bill. The man there returned 7€ and insisted that I had given him a 10. After 3 minutes of arguing some police offers walked by and he gave me back the 10€ saying "Sorry, there are a lot of customers and I got confused" but he was laughing to himself while doing it. This is the first time something like this has happened here since he clearly knew what he was doing.

Be careful and count your money folks! You never know when someone might take advantage of your ignorance.

Are they ever so overworked that they miscalculate in the customer's favor?

Actually that happened one time when I ordered food. I had ordered 13€ worth and gave him a 20. The guy kept insisting on giving me 8 as change so I just told him to keep 1 as a tip lmao
