When you buy something, do you give exact change?

Question

That is if you're using cash. I personally don't, even though I probably should. I don't want to go through the trouble of finding change and it takes a while to find it.

I always reach for the change if I have it.

And then there is the thing where, let's say what you are buying is $12.20. And you give the cashier $20.20. There are cashiers who don't know why you are doing that and try to give you back the 20 cents, or they have no idea what to do. It's like come on, it isn't rocket surgery! LOL... Just give me my $8...

I do buy few stuff here and there every single day and with cash, so no... I don't bother with exact change, I would pay the 2.50 and tell them to keep the change or donate it to something... lmao, whether is the Red Cross, or their boss' new boat

dealing with change can give me OCD nightmares, so I rather not have cents and dimes around, lol

I do often because the kids and adults running the register now a days have no idea how to give change.

Around here paying cash slows the line and pisses easily triggered people off. People rarely do it.

Never, I hate people who dig for change to give exact change. I save my change. Use it for something special later after collecting it for a long time

Surely · Answer

If I have the correct change and the line isn’t too busy. I will use correct change.
I do have a habit of controlling the change that I get back!

My bigger beef is the A holes that go through the line with a cell phone stuck in their ear. Or the important ones that need to answer calls in line!

Every time I go shopping I use my Bank/Debit card. It's no good to keep a large amount of cash on you while in person, now small amounts are fine. But not being judgmental or being offensive to people who prefer cash over Bank / Debit cards?

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I give exact change and sometimes so count the money ahead of time

coolbreeze · Answer

I only give exact change if it's in my wallet. Most times I just break a bill unless if they say they don't have enough in their register to give me back my change.

Usually but only because most transactions are digital. I rarely pay exact change when using cash. I’m old skool enough that i appreciate a full piggy bank every blue moon or two!

Rare, because I collect change and sort though it, I search for rare coins I save up a few large coffee cans full of change

TroyDT · Answer

I am AR in that department. If I know I am buying with cash I take a pocketful of various coins exactly so I can give exact change, or at least make it so my change back is all in bills.
