A little gift for big, pitiful companies

I’ve seen now for the second times that a cus­to­mer did­n’t want coins as chan­ge. In Car­re­four!? Recei­ve the cashier here real­ly „tips” (?!) or are many peop­le here so… nai­ve and belie­ve that a big com­pa­ny as Car­re­four needs their litt­le chan­ge? Curious!

Update 21. Janu­a­ry 2011: I could noti­ce at the mean­while that the dealing with small chan­ge is rela­xed gene­ral­ly. But this works in the oppo­si­te way too: Recent­ly I paid 3,98€ with a 5€  note and recei­ved only 1€ as chan­ge, becau­se they does­n’t have many chan­ge. Two cus­to­mers befo­re me have over­paid too, but nobo­dy has dis­turb this. (And me neit­her. But I would think in Ger­ma­ny that this is strange…)
