Hi,
Just wondering how many of you out there would be bothered to collect the 1p change
(assuming you pay with a tenner) from this type of transaction..?
It's also applicable to any transaction where a penny would be the given change.
I do......tight bast-ard I hear you cry....but....do the maths....3p a day in uncollected change is over £100 per year..!!
I realise most peeps pay with credit & debit cards these days but I'm a cash man as much as poss......what did my father use to say.....look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves..!!

It depends on wether (sp?) I am in a rush or not tbh. If I am I will say "Keep the change" . More often than not I will want the receipt though so will hang around for the 1p change.

I empty my purse and pockets of all those annoying little coins ie anything under 10p and put them in a jar. When the jar gets almost too heavy to lift, I take it to Asda, cash it all in that nifty counting machine and donate it to their charity.

I occasionally do the same if I'm honest........what I don't like though is shops, garages etc. who expect you to leave the 1p (and more) change with them..!!
Imagine the whole population of the UK doing that.....!!! Someone is onto a winner....probably the Banks and the Inland Revenue.

Takes you back this one, anyone remember the story of the hacker who haccked all the mainstream banks and deducted a penny from everyones account on a weekly basis?
reportedly he made millions and only got caught because an old lady, who lived by the saying " look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after themselves" continuously harangued her bank to find out where her pennies were going rolleyes
Thank god for pedantic old ladies rotflmao

As someone who actually sells things I never do the 99p thing if I can help it, but when I get the "keep the change" comment - I am ever so grateful. But then I guess it makes a difference when you are a market trader trying to battle it out, rather than a large commercial concern.
As for those pennies I get from the 99p return. For sure I get them - and yes they do get cashed in eventually. My bank hates me!! :twisted:

All mine goes in a jar as an "extra" for things like b'days and xmas (5 kids between us wot do u expect lol). We have a few of em darted around the house and then when when we need it we cash em in smile U'd be surprised on how much those jars can have in them !
At work however if someone tells me to "keep the change" i always stick it in the charity box or the doggy box wink

I collect the change cos i want the receipt.
When M&S started rounding prices up they made millions from the extra penny, so the way I see it is it is better off you having your change than big companies profitting off you.

Well said

I always wait for my change even if it is only 1p. I have a large piggy bank that I put change in, I do put some in a charity collection box at a till (not to collectors we had a thread about that recently) I had nealry £200 last year for hols to Corfu. Dont put it into the machines at super markets to be counted for your own use as it charges a percentage.
