European Culture - Dan

When it comes to European culture, I noticed financial transactions feel different than from the US. On a basic level discussed earlier, taxes are implemented into the prices of food and goods already. Some new observations I would like to comment on would be that in Europe, cashiers most of time ask for specific payments when using cash such as an extra amount of cents to better round when giving change. Additionally, they can be more flexible about exact change over a few Euro cents if it means exchanging more even change. They are also more likely to forgo a few Euro cent if it means cleaner change back to the customer. In the US, cashiers are less flexible about forgoing a few cents and often break change with whatever is handed to them. It’s really cool to see and from the perspective a person who likes nice, round numbers, I love it!
