The cup of coffee

In Rio, we went to a shop where it said a cup of coffee was fifteen cruzeiros. We gave the man twenty. But, instead of giving us change, the man asked for another twenty. Alo got mad at him. When our bus driver came, he said to the man, "How can you ask for more than what it says?" Finally, he returned five cruzeiros as our change.
