That's for sure. I often give a cashier a larger bill than the total due, plus some coins to make the change come out more even, so that I'll get a nickel or a dime rather than a bunch of pennies. Sometimes they just push the coins back and make change out of the large bill, as if I didn't realize I already had enough cash on the table. Those are usually the ones who try to think about it. If they just punch it into the cash register, they give me what it says and don't appear to think about it one way or another. Other times they are totally stumped, and I have to explain what I want. It's sad. Mark
