The       >customer does not *NEED* to also, in addition to the $20.00, give me a nickel.              So are you saying that you "eat" the two cents and give the customer two       dollars       back? Why would you want them to take a dollar bill and ninty-eight cents in       coin back as change? Isn't it easier for both you and the customer to take the       nickel and give them two dollar bills and three pennies?              --       Rainy day... dream way... let the sun take a holiday ... lay back and groove on       a rainy day.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
