Okay, so I was just going through my bills from last month and one of them makes no sense. I bought an Xbox 360 Pro (CAD 299 retail price) about a month back from EB Games in Canada, and the total with the 14% tax came to 338.99 CAD. I paid with US Dollars and handed the cashier 400 USD. In my excitement, I didn't even look at the bill and change and just took what he gave me, assuming that it was the right amount. Now that I look at the bill, it makes NO sense to me. Can anyone figure it out or did I actually get ripped off?
The CAD to USD exchange rate on that day was 1 CAD = 0.89 USD, so basically 338.99 CAD = about 302 USD, so I should have gotten back 98 USD. The bill says that he owed me 25.01 CAD in change or like 22 USD wtf?
Looks like I got majorly ripped off. Paid almost enough to get a 360 Elite and walked out with a 360 Pro. Does EB Games charge an insane amount for the conversion or something?
Here's a crappy pic of the bill. I've typed up what the stuff is next to where it's written on the bill.

Sheesh :@ I could've gotten like 2 or 3 games for the extra cash I paid.
