No coin change is not a problem if going to charity.

I believe they (The Developer) intended it to be a Scottish pub. My people (Irish Celts) have much better pubs than that.

I wonder if the "No Change" place would accept your $19. on a $19.64 order? I bet the .64 is important to them then.

Once upon a time, I went to a bakery in Laguna Beach, CA. The state law is that groceries and take-out food items are NOT taxed. Probably the only thing on God's green earth that California doesn't tax. Anyhow, the guy at the bakery charged me tax on my to-go item. I pointed it out to him. He said his accountant told him to just charge tax on everything because it was easier (for them) that way. I never returned to that bakery.

WOW, what a memory.

Ended up with a Hamilton Beach, FlexBrew machine.
The warming pad is hot enough re-heat a 1/2 pot.
As a bonus, it makes one-cup-at-a-time with a Keurig style brew option.
(someone in the household wants organic coffee)

Years ago, I worked for a very large company. Becoming concerned with excessive expenditures, they made an issue over pencils, among other things. A pencil is "small stuff", but if every employee took their pencil home every day and didn't return it, thousands of dollars worth of pencils pilfered daily would cause "small stuff" to become a very big deal.
The point is not the 64 cents, it is that they use this phony "we don't make change" policy to steal money from their customers. A little here, a little there, adds up to a whole lot of stolen (and very likely) unreported income by the end of the year.
If they won't give you your change or round the balance down, then you're being scammed. And so is everyone else they have done this to.

Does not matter to me.

It's fantastic. I will stick with them. :coolsmiley:

Well it sounds like they only half cook it so I can believe that

Soooo, if the pizza costs $19.02, do THEY keep the 98 cents?
They should just charge $20 for a pizza and everyone would accept that.
Then no big deal about change...
