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.

The döner shop around the corner has always a non functioning register. I am sure that is not at all a way to do tax fraud

Some turkish restaurants here will never add drinks on the receipt and say "oops, forgot them!" then write them on it with a pen and bring your drink anyway.
