Annoyances - Part 4: Lacking Change

Shops never have any change. It doesn't matter how big the shop it they invariable have no change. A large proportion of the economy is transacted in very small amounts, for small business and small shops it is essential to have the smaller notes and coins. Thus everyone has to use the big shops to spend their larger notes and to get hold of smaller notes and coins. No one will ever give the right money in a supermarket because they have to use the transaction to get hold of change, so invariable the supermarket will run out of change really quickly. The bottom line is that there clearly aren't enough coins in circulation, a bigger proportion of the money needs to be in the form of coins. Frequently in shops we will have to wait while the shop assistant pleads with us to have the right change or while he or she goes to neighbouring shops looking for change.
