DON'T DO IT. Please. Can't you see I'm already carrying one bag, that I've chosen to be eco-friendly and try to carry by hand the three things I've just bought, and that an entire one of my hands is taken up holding my wallet? To make it worse there's a queue of people who will stare at me while I try and juggle the money you're about to give me in the most annoying way you can.

WHY do some cashiers insist on giving you your change with the coins ON TOP of the notes. Even worse - with the receipt mixed in there too. What then? Unless you're a weirdo that shoves the whole lot into some kind of money-sack (or girl-purse) you have to find a way to get the coins put away first.

This smiley bastard is about to stab you in the back with his change-trickery. Don't trust him.

You may think this is insignificant. It is. You may have lots of really clever solutions, like "just put it in your pocket and deal with it later" or "just move to one side and put the money away" or "put your bags down first" - whatever your brilliant suggestion is just keep it to yourself. I maintain that it's a stupid way to give someone their change.
