    dont you hate it when you have to do that? well, actually you prolly dont have to do that often but it seems like a few times a month.. i want something and there's like five or ten bucks sitting around in change and that's it.

    so i go into the store and by the time i get down to counting the nickels and pennies....err, it is so embarrasing.

    i feel like the clerk is looking at me like im the biggest dipshit ever.

    (not gonna stop me though) :)

    I don't really mind when I do it. I hate when other people do it. It's especially annoying when they ferret through the change purse and wind up pulling out lifesavers or sour balls... and when they realize they don't have enough money they just reach into a sleeve of the Channel bag and pull out a fifty dollar bill!

    I hate when people pay for stuff in change at the gas station i work at... I just want to rip it out of their hands and count it for them... Its just people are so horibably slow at it.... I could care less if you give me change... just be quick about it.

    The Secret is to have a looooong line of Folks behind at the place where they check you out...
    the longer the better

    Pull out your change baggie/tin can(s) then empty them on the counter at the place they check you out...
    the more noise/pennys the better

    Empty your change pocket asking if they have a trash can for your jean string balls/other misc trash at the place where they check you out...
    add trash to your pocket if you don't normally carry any

    Now this is the most important aspect of the entire procedure:
    Stand tall w/a Cheshire cat grin while exuding impaitence w/the person counting your change
    at the place where they check you out...
    Be Proud! You are entitled to your PITA status.
