I aslo have never been in a place that doesn't give back my change. Saying that I usually pay by credit/debit card as its much easier than messing about with change.


Paying with credit cards helps, but in that particular convenience store they didn't scan barcodes, they just punched in the price on the register... and the guy put $2 instead of $1.99. I politely told him that it was 1.99 and he gave me some serious attitude and gave me 2 cents instead... I just took one penny and left the other penny behind, but it was that incident that prompted me to ask this question on this forum. He wanted to make me feel like a cheapskate, and I was wondering if there are better strategies to deal with similar situations without being rude. It's not the first time that happens to me and it gets me every time.

Does anyone else get frustrated when people don't give you change when you buy something that costs like 99 cents? I do and the cashiers always have an attitude. Nobody seems to understand that it's not about the penny, it's about charging the price marked on the merchandise. Why do they say something costs $9.99 if they don't give me change when I pay with a ten dollar bill? I hate it and the way they treat me makes me feel incredibly silly.


Where I am, if it's marked $0.99 I am actually paying $1.12 due to taxes.

Whenever I use the register, I always give the penny because I want my draw to be perfect at the end of the day. If the customer doesn't want it, that's fine. I'll put it to the side and use it for other orders.
