Hiya,
In the Soup Nazi, we can clearly see that the pricing scheme is $1.99, $2.99 and $3.99 for the sizes of soup. But change was never given, and only notes were ever used. Is this something that happens in America, but not in England? We always want our 1p change (i.e 1 cent) !!!

you sad bastard
I prefer Pedantic Git.... ;-)
In most cases, change is given when making a purchase in the USA, even when the change due is as little as a cent or two. Even so, its not all that unusual for merchants and or customers to round up to the nearest dollar when the change due is just a few cents.
Given the soup nazi's stringent rule system, I'd guess anyone who asked for the penny would be banned from the store.
No soup for you! Come back, one year!

Do you really care about change when you are facing the soup Nazi?

$2.99
It is just one of those television errors. Many times change is not given back. Another example is Monks. Sometimes you will notice that the arrangement of the table changes within a single scene. This is obviously because between takes, something was moved. The one cent is always wanted as change in America.

notes
I've been to America before and something you notice is how their prices for everyday items are tax exclusive, so if something is listed as $3.99, its actually more than that. The cashier adds on the tax and then charges you. It is very strange and something you must have to get used to, by living there for a while, so we have no idea of how much change should have been received.
Besides, isn't this just a little bit picky...or maybe it is deliberate to gauge how closely people watch the show...
Not always. Sometimes the prices listed include tax. Either way, it doesn't matter, much. As the government sees it, taxes will be paid, either by the customer, or the merchant, they really don't care. Naturally the merchant passes the tax on the consumer.
Jerry, to George: "Forget it. Let it go."
GOOD POINT!!!
BTW, I found the cashier at the soup shop to be extremely attractive.
Am I alone?
