No. I sometimes intentionally add a random amount of change and watch the math major behind the counter collapse into a brain overload fit.

Ahsu, take your change at the end of each day and dump it something like a large jar. Then when it gets full, go to Coinstar or some similar

The people trying to be efficient with the exact amount are always oblivious to the fact they are slowing down the line

Holy fucking shit... Being a cashier at a fast-paced business, I don't give a damn if it makes your life moderately easier to get rid of 72 cents. If you don't have it ready, just use whole bill amounts. Good god.

I do, bc I don't like too many coins in my wallet. It gets heavy and bulgy. But when I'm low on change, I don't pay exact change. Need some coins to get stuff from the vending machines as school lol. To avoid change from the vending machine. It's a vicious cycle.

No. I pay with whole dollar amounts and put whatever change I get into a "fun" jar for extra things/trips/etc... I was surprised how quickly it added up.

No. I rarely carry cash so I do pay in exact change via debit. When I do have cash, I only carry bills. Change ends up in my car so I wouldn't have any denomination smaller than a whole dollar.

Never. We always give bills only and save the change for the years vacation. We save about $600.00

As the manager of a fast food restaurant, stop trying I give me exact change unless you already have it ready! Sure, it may only take you 30 seconds, but by that time I could already have completed the transaction. Drives me crazy when people sit there for 3 minutes trying to get change ready.

I try at times when I have the bills to do so. But say the amount is $6.43, and I have a $20 bill, I'll give the cashier $21.43 and get back the $15 even

No, I take the change and save it until I have a good amount and then cash it into the bank. Last time I went I had over $50 in coins.

Not usually, but for example, if I go to Wendy's, I know exactly how much it's going to be already so I might have change ready by the time I pull around the drive-thru. Or if whatever I'm buying is something like 20.04, it doesn't take too long to grab a few pennies.

No way it's more fun to AVOID change & collect it in a jar. Then when u turn it in at the bank it's like a surprise of bonus cash

Sometimes. The majority of the time though I want the change so I can empty my change purse and put it in my daughters' piggy banks.

I am accumulating change, then I put it in a jar to roll up later...then I accumulate more..and so on..I am thinking of opening another bank account so I have money for a vacation or something...

If I have it, yes. I never leave the house with change, but by the third or fourth stop I can probably pay the exact amount. I usually have a few hundred on me, but since nobody here yet charges extra for plastic, and everyone takes it, I normally just put it on a card. It's free to use.

No, I'm saving all the pennies and nickels I can get my hands on. The dollar has been devalued to the point where the metal content is worth more than face value on pennies and nickels.

Never carry change. Always empty the coins into a change jug after each outing. Then I use it on something frivolous when I have saved enough.

We do not spend change, we save it. It's something we started a few years ago in Dave Ramsey's Financial University classes. We are 100% debt free, but the change saving never stopped.

Most cashiers are not able to make correct change, unless they rely on the register. Giving anything other than the "exact change" or "bills only" often messes them up and they get all confused. So if the total is $16.23, and you offer up $21.25 so you would get $5.02 back...... They want to cry!

Not if I owe more than a penny. Very irritating waiting for people to wade through all the change they've just dumped on the counter...& these are generally folks in slo-mo to start with!
