This occurred when i was working in one of the store inside the US departure section.
This fat ass american just ordered a drink and a few pecan bar and was about to pay for his item...

me: that will be $xx.xx please.
(fat ass handed me a $50 USD bill)
me:Sir, just to let you know i will have to give back your change in canadian as per store policy.
fatass: WTF? what do you mean? i am paying by american so i should get back american.
me: Unfortunately, i have to give you back canadian as per store policy.
fatass: This is horseshit, i am in america so it's my right to get back american for my change!
me: (paused for a second)... sir, canada is not part of US..
fatass: i know that! but i checked into the US terminal! that means this is technically america!
me: (paused for a second, again)... sir, you are still in canada, it just means you checked into a part of the airport that is designated for flight that are departing for the states. For example, entering the international departure terminal for a flight leaving for tokyo doesnt mean you have entered japan...
fatass: ...................of course that doesnt! but right now we are in america because we checked into USA already! besides, what use do i have for canadian money when i am heading back to alabama?! (go figure -_-)
me: for one, canadian right now is pretty much on par with your greenback right now, and if you really dont want canadian money, go to the currency exchange booth over there and get your US dollars back there.

fatass told his food and money, while still cussing, looked around and gave other people the look that i have just robbed him. Meanwhile, some of the people in line including a few airport securities just couldn't stop laughing.
