"Why No Change?"... Absurd Excuse Shocks Netizens

Finally, here is an absurd story that makes you wonder if people still believe in such superstitions these days.

Recently, a post titled "A gas station owner said they couldn't give change because a woman was the first customer" surfaced on an online community.

The author, A, attempted to get a car wash after refueling at a self-service gas station in Siheung, Gyeonggi Province, on September 22.

Handing over 5,000 won for a 4,000 won car wash after applying a discount coupon, A reportedly did not receive the remaining 1,000 won in change.

When A asked why, the gas station owner allegedly replied, "It's a woman's first opening."

A took this to mean the superstitious belief that having a woman as the first customer of the day brings bad luck.

A filed a complaint with the headquarters' customer service center, but received a response to the effect that the gas station is operated by an independent business owner.

Later, the gas station reportedly conveyed its stance that it would apologize and return the change if A visited the station.
