Dear PAO,

I work as a truck driver for a company located in Makati City. Whenever I need to purchase my lunch or grab a quick snack, I often visit the carinderia closest to our warehouse. Interestingly, when they need to give me a few pesos in change, they consistently choose to give me candy instead of the exact change owed. I'm considering addressing this with the owner, but I'm uncertain if this practice is permissible since the value of the candy is similar to the change due to me. Would there be grounds for a complaint in this situation?
