Courtesy Change

Uggggggggggggggh.
The vending machine I just used to purchase an almond joy gave me courtesy change. Price of the almond joy is $0.75. I fed the machine a $1 dollar bill. I only got $0.10 back. I call that courtesy change. I'm owed $0.15 by that damned vending machine.
It's as if I had this imaginary fight with the vending machine. Here's how it went down.
Vending machine: "Well, you got your candy bar? What's more important, the candy bar or the $0.25?"
Me: "Dude, I want my candy bar and my $0.25 in change."
Vending machine: "No."
Me: "That's unfair!"
Vending machine: "Here's $0.10, now get outta my face."
Me: "Screw you!"
Vending machine: "See you tomorrow?"
Me (sullenly): "Yeah." Damned vending machine!
Me: "Dude, I want my candy bar and my $0.25 in change."
Vending machine: "No."
Me: "That's unfair!"
Vending machine: "Here's $0.10, now get outta my face."
Me: "Screw you!"
Vending machine: "See you tomorrow?"
Me (sullenly): "Yeah." Damned vending machine!
