[QUOTE="oval_man, post: 1073805, member: 22602"]Am I the only one who doesn't mind this idea? First, let's not jump to conclusions that these restaurant owners are evil people trying to gouge everybody. It's tough to run a restaurant and maybe they're actually telling the truth that they don't want the hassle of coins. Call them lazy if you want, but I'll bet they have plenty of regular customers who agree with them—and those who don't, don't have to patronize the place. Clearly the owners are not worried about losing customers. I'm not saying I condone or agree with everything they seem to be doing: they should round up and down to be fair to each customer, the way a lot of other establishments treat pennies. And I'm assuming their policy only applies to cash purchases, because obviously they'd have to run the cc purchases for the exact amounts. But I believe this is the wave of the future, at least with small change. Personally, I never pay with cash, let alone change, anymore; I charge everything and earn points on my purchases. This might sound like sacrilege to some of you collectors, but I collect older coins for their history and beauty and don't really pay attention to modern change. :)[/QUOTE]
