This is What I Get for Trusting People

[Hope restored]
So I'm an assistant manager at a convenience store and last night we had two customers come in and buy 70 dollars worth of groceries with an EBT card. They go to pay, and the register charges them whats left on their card, which is 25 dollars and some change.
They still owe 45 dollars on their bill and have nothing to cover the rest. Its also already past closing, there are 5 more people in line, and now they want me to go through 70 bucks worth of groceries and void items until it equals the 25 they spent.
I cant refund them because when using a card here, you can only give cash as a refund. I cant give them cash from an EBT card. So I cant just cancel the transaction. Voiding items line by line would take too long because we have a time limit to leave once it's past close or an alarm goes off and the police are called automatically
Customers are getting angry
I've already worked 10 hours
I literally do not have time to fix it
So I paid the rest of the 40 dollars, even though I'm broke as well on the promise they would come back with cash in the morning.
Sure.
I got both their numbers
The deposit would be correct tonight
Everyone could be happy
Except now today it's past morning, my shift is about to end, they haven't showed up, both their numbers are suddenly disconnected, and I am sitting in the break room wondering why the fuck I try to help people
Anyone want a commission for 40 dollars?
I feel like I'm about to cry
EDIT: Holy shit you guys. Thanks so much for your support. Anyone who sent me anything or helped me out from this journal, send me a note if you want any art ever. I'm honestly shocked speechless. Thank you<3

I can't commission you, but maybe we could collab on something and then i leave you my part ?
The only people i help are my close friends, other people should get their own.
I think perhaps we'll just do a trade in the future sometime -- no need to do anything more. :)
