Manifesto Point #3:
There is no "Exact Change" Contest
By this we mean that you shouldn't stand at the counter (or sit in the drive) for 20 minutes looking for that last penny. It only serves to irritate the baristas, and the people waiting in line behind you. While we appreciate not having to give you change, and we know you want to carry less change around, but it takes up a ton of time. If you've ever been in the drive, seen the barista hand out the drink, and then waited five minutes or longer, chances are the person in front of you is counting out exact change.
You will not win anything, or impress anyone, by paying in exact change. It's nice, but not something to agonize over.
In addition, if you are going to hold everyone up while you search for the last penny, at least be kind to the baristas and give something as a tip. Even if it is only 50 cents. (In reality, it's polite to tip every time. But I suppose this is a post in and of itself.) The baristas now have to deal with all of the angry people behind you, they should at least get something out of it.
