The other day I paid with a $20 bill and two ones for a $12 item so I can get a whole $10 back instead of more ones. The cashier mindlessly saw the $20 as a $10 because it’s so exceedingly rare for someone to intentionally overpay to control excess change. After that, I stopped doing it.

It’s getting rare to pay with cash at all
I worked fast food many moons ago and even then it was like 80% card transactions
Adding extra for round change was not only common, but cashiers would ask for it. But that was 20 years ago, when I still used cash. The only cash I ever see now is the one I keep around to put under my kids’ pillows for their teeth.
I’ve found the trick is you have to say “Here’s $22 dollars” out loud to them.
I genuinely didnt follow that, first time ive been too yung to get something
Canada stopped minting pennies ages ago because the metals used to make a penny were worth more than the penny itself
And? That’s true of most coins. It’s probably true of the bills as well.

Just FYI you can look up stuff like this at no cost. It’s not even close to being true. A Canadian polymer banknote costs about 20 cents to manufacture and the smallest denomination is $5. Coins cost a few cents to make (even $2 ones). It’s just the penny that lost so much of its value over time that it costs more to make than its worth.
Meh. I don’t remember the last time I handled cash - never touch the stuff. I don’t even have to swipe anymore…contactless tap ftw.
