    The price of our plain Brötchen is indivisible by five, which means I get to impress the shit out of people with very basic mental math, but we do have to mess with the fiddly coins. Normally people are a little embarrassed and grimace while waiting for a tiny amount of change, but this guy was chilling. Honestly, more power to him.

      No, I mean in stores we still get prices like 2,99, and if you pay with card you pay 2,99 but if you pay with cash you pay 3 euro. You don’t get 1 cent return.

      On the flipside: if your total is something like 2,96 then you pay 2,96 if you pay with card, however in cash you pay 2,95.

      So in the end it all kind of evens out.

        That would kill me. I realized that the computer rounds down when calculating our employee discount (we get 50% off, but if something ends in x.x5, we pay x.x2/x.x7, whereas other customers paying for half a loaf of bread would pay x.x3/x.x8) and I’ve been exploiting that since.

        I guess this comment section has been a learning experience because I realized that I am exactly the same as that customer.
