so, I had to pay €12.40 for my food. and I couldn't pay the exact amount, but I had a €20 bill and €2.40 in coins, so I paid €22.40 to get a nice single €10 bill in change I tried something similar in the US once and got a really confused look…? tell me how weird this is

it's dependent on whether prices are tax-included or not; because if they are the customer can precompute exact amount and save time for the cashier, if they're not tax included then the customer and cashier know the exact amount at the same time and so much less time is saved.

(especially given the cashier can instantly compute the needed change for a combination of banknotes and has a drawer with separated coins)

The goal isn't to save time, the goal is to not wind up with a pile of small change.

true but if it takes more time than just paying with banknotes and having the cashier return change then it'll annoy people waiting behind me and the cashier so it's not something i'd do

If there's a line behind me I wouldn't do it either, but waiting in line for a cashier is not that common.
