I try to carry a small coin bag to keep some change. That also helps with those dudes who want to "take care of your car" while you go to a park, too. That was a great post, LOL :)

We have the same situation in Romania since 2 or 3 years - chewing gum has become the new 10c coin. If you go to a shop in the morning they say "I just opened and don't have change!", if you go in the evening they say "We're out of change, come back tomorrow morning" :) So I decided to give them a bag of coins one evening to solve their problems - it was a long talk until the coins were accepted!
