It's not rude in your case but i do consider it rude if you are counting dimes and nickels at the counter to pay for a $5 meal when I'm behind you in line.

As long as you're not doing it on purpose to piss them off, why would it matter if you did use all change. Not everyone can pay with debit.

I challenge that by saying is it rude to come into a store and pay with a 100$ or even a 1000$ bill.

yeah but parking officers can be somewhat of a dick too so it becomes an eye for an eye.

Yes, I recognize that. Hence the "(and whether justified or not)". Last time I have heard of this done (aka on the internets), someone paid a tow truck company in pennies. Which is a much more passive aggressive move than the last in person confrontation I saw (the kid slashed the tow-trucks tires).

Be prepared to call the cops when thy don't accept it and have to sit around for a few hours.

I remember a jar of pennies I accumulated over the years. I took it to the bank, and everyone there basically stared at me. Best $40 dollars I had in my life, although it weighed like 100+ pounds. I wonder where would I spend it on if I hadn't of taken it to the bank.

I worked fast food for 3 years and I can tell you from experience the only time its annoying is if you dont organize it or have it pre counted by the time you get there.

Some times people would come in in front of a long line and sit there counting it forevvvvvvvver. If you have it organized its no problem, they can take it away and count it pretty quickly since after handling money for a while it comes as second nature.

Its kind of like if someone hands you a wad of wrinkled bills and takes forever to organize and count them, rather than handing you a bunch of clean bills.

Yes there is a $1,000 bill but if one pulled one out of their wallet they would not be able to break I would think and they would be mighty suspicious.

if you organize them such that the money is easily countable it should be fine. and businesses will be happy to take the coins for the changes.

the only time any form of change is rude is when a customer decides that they somehow want to make your life easier by making you wait for them to find exact change, or better yet that extra nickel that will allow you to return a quarter to them. It's like 'Ma'am, I'm a trained professional at counting money, exact change does not matter to me.' Also, I hate it when they give you enough money and you've opened the cash drawer and are ALREADY counting the money to give back and they hand an extra dollar and some change.

....

why people?

if you want to pay in all change, then I dont care. Especially if you pre-count it. I hate running out of change and I think that if you're paying in all change, it's because you dont have another way to pay.

Hello, fellow TeamLiquid posters!!!

So my friends and I regularly LAN Starcraft, and after online tournament matches, or when we just get bored, what we do is we all go out as a group and we eat.

Unfortunately, I ran my allowance dry a while ago, but I have 11 years of accumulated change saved up in my room.

So I started paying for my meals this way, in mainly Quarters and Dimes.

My friend told me that this was rude, even though I organized the dimes into piles of 10 and the Quarters into piles of 4. It was easily distinguishable. I even specifically told the waitress to be careful with that, and that I already counted it for her.

She laughed at me and winked. Lol.

Which brings up my question. Is it rude to pay in coins if I pre-stack it for them?

Clearly the solution is to ask for her number, gl brother.

More on topic it's not rude especially if you organize the coins. Though if you are super concerned about it and/or don't like having your pockets weighed down by all that change go get some change rolls and bring them to your bank to exchange.

Yup

I feel as if it's pretty rude. Even if you tell them they don't have to count it, they're still supposed to

I say just find some time to go to the bank and trade your change in for some bills. It's gonna suck when you run out of Quarters+Dimes and are paying with Nickels and Pennies.

If they dump it on the counter and then (slowly) count it, it annoys me. Most times though they pull it out and count it quickly so it doesn't bother me much.

I personally work as a cashier and in my opinion, I don't actually care. If you have it pre-stacked that's fine by me. On the other hand if you come up to the counter and spend 5 minutes counting out $5 in dimes and nickels the person behind you may get rather annoyed.

To be honest, I have about 8 kilos of change (I'd guess around $150-$200) in a jar on my shelf which I just reach into and grab a handful every morning to pay for my coffee.

I don't think it's rude, especially if giving that change means the cashier doesn't have to give you change back.
