Refusing Change Because First Customer Was a Woman? Absurd Incident Sparks Controversy

Finally, an absurd story that makes you wonder if anyone still believes in such superstitions these days.

Recently, a post titled "Gas Station Owner Refuses to Give Change Because First Customer Was a Woman" was uploaded to an online community.

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

With a discount coupon, the car wash fee was 4,000 won, so Person A handed over a 5,000-won bill but reportedly did not receive the 1,000 won in change.

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

Person A interpreted this as stemming from the superstition that having a woman as the first customer of the day brings bad luck.

Person 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 side reportedly conveyed its stance that if Person A visits, they will apologize and return the change.
