I work at a bakery in Germany that’s open on sundays (most things are closed). Yesterday was absolutely flooded because of Mother’s Day and we kept running out of coins.
I had a man wait over five minutes before I was able to give him his change of one cent. I wish I were so in charge of my finances.
If it helps, it was a price ending in a different digit. It ended in six, he gave me seven cents, and wouldn’t accept my offer of his two cents back and I’d be happy to pay the difference personally. He wanted to pay exactly what he owed, which is his prerogative.

That’s why I hate X.99 prices.
Just make it 4.50, 4.80, 4.90 or 5.00

That’s very German of him
