The reason here, though, was that the amount of change kept in the register was kept very small to avoid losing very much to robbery (which is common in these type of stores). Change for a $20 on a small purchase could easily wipe out most of the change you had, depending on how close you were keeping the drawer. This is not a defense of inconvenience, just some additional data. -P. B. Westerfield (APR - CB BTL)
