One of the problems I have noticed while using cash is the dearth of "change". In case of a digital transaction, restaurants can simply swipe and charge the exact amount. But, when it comes to cash they ask for "exact" change.
Which makes me wonder, are we running out of coins or something? Or is it some marketing tick that pricing has to be non-zero, odd numbers to increase sales and that makes tendering change difficult?
