Hi, first time poster on this sub but long-time lurker. I (30F) went to the Richmond Night Market in BC, Canada with my boyfriend (20M). I had lots of Canadian coins I brought along on our trip to Canada to use (along with some paper bills). When we went to buy something from a vendor, I had prepped with coins to pay and had my boyfriend hold about $4 worth of onies and quarters. It was a bit hard to know for sure whether I had the correct amount of coins because I’m not familiar with the coin currency because I’m from the USA and my eyes make it difficult to see in low lighting. Then when we got the counter, I had my boyfriend hand me the coins to pay and I handed all the coins to the cashier and said, “I’m not sure if this is enough. Can you check?” My boyfriend dropped a quarter when he handed off to me because he was so shaky and semi-embarrassed I was paying with coins. The cashier counted it and I was short 25¢. I didn’t have anymore coins and she said it was fine. So I had counted the exact change but didn’t have enough because my boyfriend dropped a quarter. For context, I have been to night markets in Asia and I commonly used coins there because it was acceptable so I believe that’s why I didn’t feel embarrassed to pay with coins. My boyfriend felt embarrassed because he said you can just use coins to tip and not pay with entirely with coins and use bills instead. Now he wanted me to post here and see whether I was TA for paying all with Canadian coins for a $9 item. AMITA?
