Ok, so I notice things. Not big things, and lots of times things that do not matter or I construe them to mean something completely other than what they originally mean. BUT! I do notice when you hand me change back at the store that you could have handed me a quarter and a nickel instead of 3 dimes, and you would have saved 1 scoop of the change, not to mention the time it took to make that scoop and the space in my pocket. Now 3 dimes are smaller, but still, for less energy you could get the same amount in less coinage. Occums Razor. Now I know that the 3 dimes take up less space, and given that 43 cents was given back to me in change then he could have just made one 4-dime swoop, but he didn't. Not to mention that it will stretch his change out longer if he spaces it out. Dimes are usually the first to go, then pennies, then quarters, then finally nickels.
Another thing. When ringing people up, I notice when the bypass the easier change option. a drink costs 4.75? I noticed that you passed over ones and a 5 to get to the 10, and hand me the 10 to get 5.25 back. ?????? .... and then you don't tip? How does that work? Do you just like filling your wallet with five-spots? I dunno, people sometimes...
