Default your thoughts on metric

LOL ... The tab is $1.96 ... you give the clerk two dollar bills and a
penny, and they look at you like "What the hell do I do now?" snip

Yep, I do that once in awhile too. But, more often I just give
them bills. Not to keep from confusing them. To save. I don't spend
coin change while I'm out, just keep it. Some days I come back with
maybe 30 cents in change, some days several dollars worth. When I get
home, put in plastic coin counter tubes. Tip, don't buy paper coin
rolls, my bank gives them for free. Plastic tubes full, roll coins,
turn in periodically. I've turned in as much as $75 a month doing this.
Painless way to save.

Got two-three dollars too much change one time. Told the girl
she'd made a mistake. Snotty reply "she" doesn't make mistakes. Tried
twice more, same. So drove off with the extra, with no regret.
