That’s All We Have at the Moment
We have no idea why coins exist. Sure, that’s how you’ll receive a fraction of a dollar back, but nobody walks around with coin purses anymore. People would much rather donate the change than keep it in their wallets or pockets. So, make sure you’re extra-kind to the cashier the next time you go shopping.
If you’re not, your change might come back in pennies and nickels. And if they say, “That’s all we have at the moment,” are you really going to demand to see what’s inside of the cash register? Of course, not—you’re going to complain to the manager like a predictable Karen.
