Believe me, this stupidity is not limited to McDonalds employeess. I was at the grocery store near my house, similar situation. The bill came to about 5 bucks and some change. I had a 10, a 5, and one dollar coin. So i give her 11 bucks, and she gives me the one back. So i give it back to her.

"I'd like the 5 dollar note instead of some change, thanks"

She gives me the one dollar coin back. "It's only $5.40"

"Yes, i'm aware, but i'd like the 5 dollars change in a note, rather than coins"

She still didn't understand me.

"Look, if i give you 11 dollars, i get 5 dollars back in a note, and some small change. If i give you 10 dollars, i get 4 dollars in coin and some small change."

"OOOHHHH, right. ..... So how much do you want to pay?"

I gave up. I gave her the damn 10 dollars.
