Yes. I thought it was a common pratice in third world econnomies since coins are sometimes rare.

You see, I think it's more complicated than that. I can understand europeans and americans to be annoyed but here in Brazil (and I imagine in other latin american countries), the difference between cents isn't that much.
I've heard about gringos being really confuse when they buy stuff here that is like R$9,99 and they expect 1 cent as change. Thing is, we don't produce 1 cent coins anymore so there's really no way to pay you back. Now add this that coins are really annoying to carry around and most middle-class people nowadays use cards for everything. So this creates an economic problem that we don't use coins as often as developed countries. This means most commercial places will lack change when eventually people use bills to pay instead of cards.

You know what's funny? A guy here keep receiving candy as change every day from the bakery. One day he collected so many he bought a bunch of bread with it. Of course the baker didn't want to accept but the guy went into justice to have his right to pay in candy as well. He own.

>>70479557
never happened to me, sure u didnt get scammed bro?

>>70480220
ah, starbucks!

>>70480253

it was a joke about our crappy bread.
also i don't think we have the exact equivalent.

>>70480220
We have Bakeries, that anon is just being stupid.
They work differently here though based on what you're saying.

A bakery is just a place they make bread/donuts/other baked goods. People don't usually buy milk or coffee from them, and people congregate to sit down in coffee shops instead.

>>70480276
strange... i wouldve said nah ill wait here til u get change

>>70480486
I mean, we call them bakeries ("padaria") but some of them even make lunch dishes or even sell beer at the afternoon.
We have a strong coffee culture here so it's no wonder you can buy coffee in such a trivial place.

>>70479557
No and if you do not stand up to the Chinos you are a cuck desu

btw what's up with that stereotype that all bakeries are owned by portuguese immigrants?
everytime i go to Foz de Iguaçu the bakeries are owned by germans

>>70480687
Hahaha I have no idea. Maybe it was something really common for many years in the past and that remained in the colective imagination of everyone. Same thing with "japaneses are dyers or veggie sellers" even if they are quite rare nowadays.

>>70480559
What kind of coffee do you drink?

>>70480770
I'm more of a tea person but here most popular ones are pure and pingado (pure with a little of milk)

>>70479557

When that happens they ask if I want something else or they spare me the few pesos.

If I buy something for 7 pesos, pay with 10 and they don't have change, they ask me if I want something worth 7 pesos or spare me those two pesos ("luego me los pasa joven").

Is not so common though.

>they ask me if I want something worth 3 pesos or spare me those three pesos*
