Bus drivers
are bloody terrible for this. You can't change a cocking fiver? When the fare is £1.30? That's no different than paying for a pint with a twenty-pound note, something pubs routinely manage to cope with.

So the logical conclusion: pubs are better than buses. I think.

That's why bus prices
are never (well, rarely- especially the higher cost tickets) simply 2-coin transactions. Say it's £1.80- you stick £2 in the box and forget about the other £0.20. To do it correctly, the minimum number of coins you'd need is a £1, 50p, 20p and 10p.
Which means that when you inevitably miss out one coin you're forced to give them more than the ticket price.

It's almost thievery, but not quite.

I concur
Pubs are definitely better than buses
