What is amazing is how few cashiers can handle the following circumstance:

Total bill:  6.38.  I hand the cashier 21.38.  They look at me like I've 
lost my mind - they can't figure out why I'm handing them the "extra 
dollar".   Like I said, it's amazing how many cashiers don't get this one.

Even more fun is when the total is something like 5.98 and you had them 
$11.03.  (Ten dollar bill, one dollar bill, and those 3 pennies which 
are rattling around in your pocket).   Since it involves a carry (or 
borrow) or two, I'll give most people some slack on this on.
