Which is worst?

Let's say you are the cashier, which would you prefer?
a, Accepting RM50 for RM1 item
 
or
b, Accepting 20 pcs of 5 cents for RM1 item

There was once when I finished work and I only have RM50 note with me, without any choice, I have to pay the guy RM50. and my parking amount was RM11.

*all conversation is in Malay
Rude Bastard (RB): No small change?
Me : No. Sorry.
RB : mumbles mumbles
Me : Look. If I have small change I already pass it to u so that I can leave faster too.
RB : mumbles mumbles
Me : =.="


The above actually happened quite long ago.

Recently, when I was about to pay my parking fee. Again, the amount was RM11. Coincidently, I have a lot of 5 cents I need to get rid of. So I paid RM10 + 20 pcs of 5cents. From a joking face with his colleague, straight away changed to a face as if I have killed his whole family.

WTF…

So now, I have only RM50 with me again. How now?

It amaze me that I am actually afraid of paying huge amount for something with small amount. Whereby, it shouldn’t even be my fault for paying that amount. Perhaps I just don’t want something happened (like witnessing bad customer service) to ruin my day.

So, tell me. As a cashier, which would you prefer?

change. Give me all the 5 or 10 cents you have. I would rather take that than a RM50 for something cheap. Reason? Which is harder to get from the bank? Change or notes? Definitely change because imagine lugging a huge bag of coins just so you have change to give to your customers.
