If I had 50 dhirams for each time this was discussed on QL, then i would have at least 3 Riyals or a few chewing gums :O)

They don't want to give you the 50 dirham, cause they will send all 50 dirhams the end of the day through western union to back home

Worry no more!!! there's a new regulation from baladiya 3 days ago that all customers have the right to get their 50 dirhams change. Also the cashiers are responsible to give exact change with 50 dirhams. This is applicable to all small and supermarkets in qatar.

hmmm .. One day i saw a women fighting with the cashier for 50 dihrams .. She took out everything from her bag and she was finding 50 dihram so she can get 1 qr instead of chewing gum ...

Use only card (credit or debit) for your purchases and get rid of this chewing gum thing....

Most supermarkets accept then for purchases above 10 QR.

Actually they have the 50 and 25 Dirhams but they prefer to give customers chewing gum to save these Dirhams for themselves because in my opinion the whole chewing gum box doesn't worth more than 1 Riyal. One time i returned everything to the supermarket guy because he refused to give me 50 Dirhams but he immediately picked up a bag full of 50 Dirhams and he gave me my money. I advise you to do the same!
