its more rude to pay with a huge denomination note, like £100 note at a café or something... I think cashiers are allowed to refuse to accept this though by law, not sure
In my experience shopkeeper's actually want coins, because they usually lack coins and it saves the cashier (at supermarkets) having to go to other tills to get coins for your change. As long as you pre-count at least some of it then I don't think it matters. And if you don't pre-count it, then the only person you're going to piss off is the guy behind you, or the cashier if their lunchbreak is soon or something

I often work at the cash register at my job. When guests use change I don't really mind as long as they don't just flop it all over the counter which a lot of people do. If you are paying for your meal with mostly coins you should at least present it to me in a manner that wont hold up the flow of the line.
Often I will ring up an order and the guests will literally just hand me a a palm full of change, most of the time more than what the order is. I only find it annoying because it is just more time that I have to use to ring up this person that is being taken from the next person.
When people pay for their meal in mostly pennies it is pretty annoying, but I kind of feel sorry for these people and get over myself.
A cashier will never run low on change. Under each cash register (As far as Arby's goes) there is a safe to hold only rolls of coins. If you find that you are lacking coins, you can grab whatever change you need and exchange it for bills to balance your drawer.
Say your guests change is $1.94 and you find that you only have $1.93. You can unlock this change safe, pull out two rolls of pennies in exchange for 1 dollar and give the guests his proper change.

It's not rude.. I find it degrading to yourself. If you don't feel that, then it's fine.
|
If you keep it organized (like you specified in OP), I don't think anyone can really take that as "rude."
It'd be rude IMO to start throwing piles of nickels and dimes at a cashier and making them count them out themselves, but otherwise money is money.

As a cashier at my local Quiznos, I really do not mind...unless we have a ridiculous line, but even then it doesn't bother me. money is money
|
i work at a grocery store and we have people do this all the time. personally it depends on the amount. anything over $5 and i tell my customers to use the coinstar which is already in the store. if it's mainly nickels and pennys then you'd better be buying a candy bar. so if you're going to a restaraunt and buying a $20 meal i'd think thats rude. but if your at dennys and you got a grandslam then who gives a @#$%. lol

In Canada it is actually illegal to pay with only pennies for any product over $0.50 in value.
|
Money is money, the fact you are paying them and giving them profit is enough.
|
coins are legal tender and valid for all debts, pubic and private so if someone has a problem tell them that the alternative is that they get no money...and I think that its perfectly fine to pay in coins, if a little inconvenient it doesn't matter money is money. also a lot of places have coins that are worth more than fractions of notes of currency, i mean there are 2 euro coins its just the US that seems to think a dollar must be paper so I think its perfectly fine

There are banks for this type of shit.
If you have a ton of singles, go to a bank and exchange them for bigger bills. It'll be more convenient for you and for the person that has to count your damn change. Same goes for coins. A lot of banks offer free coin counting service as long as you have an account with them. It's really easy to get a free account to, so there really should be no excuse to pay in coins.
Personally, I don't think it's rude, but it's annoying as hell as a worker to have people pay for shit like that.

Nah, not rude, just weird.
|
I have worked retail and i can tell you, its not rude, but it does make me hate you with a fiery passion that you will never know. and i will shit talk to living crap out of you when you leave.
I worked at gamestop and have had people pay for new games in change and i dont care if you arrange it in stalks or not, i still have to count it and its just more work i dont want to do. I have never thought the person was rude who did it however, i just never liked them because your making me do more work then i normally have 2 because you didnt want to go to a bank

Why does anyone have 11 years of change saved up? Thats stupid and is the real issue here IMO.
|
currency is currency. it isn't rude. 4 quarters is just the same as a dollar. always pay for my coffee with coins. it's just a handy way to get rid of change
|
Money is money. Sure it's not as convenient as getting cash, but if someone pays me in coins I wouldn't complain, as long as I'm getting paid something :D
|
well, fear not, its more rude to be a bankster. So its good that you didnt walk to the bank and feeded them.
|
money is money
live by it lol

Honestly, how is it more terrible to ask a cashier to count your money that you are paying for your food, for example, than to ask them to scan your food? You could just scan your food at the self-checkout machines...
The service provided by the cashiers is a service that we pay for by buying the store's things.
On the issue of whether the store can deny payment in coins in the U.S., I don't believe there is a law that says, "payment can be denied if it is offered in coins", or some such. Therefore if someone refuses to accept payment, instead of calling the cops, you can just take the Jumbo bag of Snickers bars, count out your coins, and leave.
If they call the cops, then good, you can explain that you are paying in legal tender and they cannot refuse payment just as they cannot refuse payment to a black, American Indian, or poor person.
