207. The law may very well be on the side of the OP,

and I'm assuming that it IS on his side.

The fact is, it seems to me, a "bigger" person would have chalked up the unreasonable behavior of the minimum wage clerk as a very frustrating inconvenience, and a good story, and then later drop of a twenty for the store owner to cover the expense of the gas. Is there something wrong with this scenario. Is it not just the right and mature thing to do?

Read #178. Solon got it right. He has a good story AND did the right thing even though the law didn't require it. The world would be a much better place to live if more had his attitude rather than that of the OP.
