I had to be out early the other morning (you know, the other morning), so I went the drive through route for a quick breakfast. My change was to be $7.30 after I gave the attendant a twenty. "I don't have any pennies. Is that okay?"
"Fine," I replied. I don't why she felt she had to tell me that, though, seeing as the quarter and nickel she handed me for the thirty cents literally, uh, foot the bill for my change.
She probably has gotten used to telling that to most everyone I'm sure. Perhaps management insists upon it. Still, the instant she apologized about the lack of cents (a pun!) I did find myself thinking, what's that to me, given the circumstances? Oh well.

The penny shortage and credit/debit card payment has gone over board. Went to Popeye’s last week and was told they did not have ANY coins, if paying cash you must have correct change!
That's nonsense. We have the right to pay our tabs as we wish, and vendors the obligation under ordinary circumstances to provide change as needed.
