I pay with exact change every single time, right to the penny. I do it with a swipe of my bank card and I don't hold up the line for the rest of the people.
Having a massive collection of coins is, to me, a total nuisance. Go change them in. Roll them and deposit them at the bank.

I’m retired and have exactly the same attitude. I carry cash only for unexpected & unusual (or very small) purchases where cash payment is required.
