Default Shorting a Cashier a penny or 2: Whats the limit

Whats an accetable amount of change you can short a cashier when making a purchase?

Lets say for example you go to your favorite Deli or store to buy a blunt and a 40 the total is 4.23 and you have 4.20 (you have other money if you wanted to break it you are not in dire straits here thats not the idea here )

Lets also included the "Give a Penn/Take a Penny" Trays I am curious whats the threshold on the Take.

I was a little confused by the poll... but say the total is $4.30 and I have 4 singles, a quarter and a twenty, and there are 5 pennies in the tray... I'm taking the pennies, but this is only in an instance of exact change. If it's $4.30 and I have $20.25, I'm just giving the cashier a $20. If it's $4.32 and I have $20.25, I take 2 pennies and give a $20...

And I just provided way too much clarity on why I responded >5 (I'm a scumbag)

I voted never, but there's been times when my total was like $2.03 and I handed the girl three bucks and she handed me one back and just pulled cents from the tray, so I would guess that <5 is probably the right answer...

I would only ever short somebody at a place I frequent. There's a stop n rob right by work that I've done this at like twice, and I've always asked them first.

its ok to only short them as much as there are pennies in the tray. If youve got other money ask them "hey, I've only got $4.20 unless you want to make change for a $20". If you have no other money you just say "oops, I'm 3 cents short" and see what they say. I personally wouldnt do that if it was a nickel or more tho
