6. I've had it where they ask "Do you want the seven cents?" and I just say nah and they put it in the cup.

Felt weird the first time, til I thought, “Well, actually, no. I really don’t want seven dirty centavos sliding around in my pocket.”

Other times I’ve had people ask, “Donate the change?” And I’m like, “Sure, why not?”

We’d have to get into folding money before it would even start to bother me.

EDIT: I’m talking about cash register transactions. Never in my life have I been asked that by waitstaff. Can’t even imagine it ever happening. Pizza delivery? Maybe. I can believe it’s a pain in the ass for them to make change. But I tip in the app when I order, so it never really comes up. And like I said, if it’s coins, I’d just say “Keep it” and not think twice about it.
