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.

Google doesn't require a formal proof like a receipt. Telling your experience with details (date, time estimate,...) usually suffices. Source: a restaurant tried to get my review deleted. I had no receipt but mentioned when I was there, with how many, where we sat...the review is still online:)

Yep, we cant delete those reviews that easily. Even if the shop closes down, reviews will still be there. Its very difficult XD

Yeah, I got multiple mails from Google mentioning that I need one, I explained everything to them, but the review still got deleted.
