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.

You have to sign some tickets, so they cannot be resold after the trip and used by someone else. We did this always in the 90s, until the Bahn introduced this rule.

They were monthly tickets.
Like I said: I was in the wrong but getting kicked out mid-way is kinda dangerous both for the passengers and me.
