My OCD would never have allowed me to hang up the pump at anything with .05 on it - I would have filled up to the next dollar...

If you dropped 5c on the ground and it rolled under the car would you have tried to pick it up ?

If Yes , then the answer to your question is NO

If No , then the answer to your question is YES

Hi,
I have been so broke that when riding the pushbike to and from work, I would always check the road around bus stops for dropped coins that were at the time unrecoverable under the bus.

Being remote we occasionally run out of certain coins at the Roadhouse.
When we run out of .05c we round to the customers favour & we also tell the customer.
If you are in a town with a bank they have no excuse for running out of coin.

You should have been at least informed they were out of .05c, when people tell me they don't want their .05c or .10c change I tell them to take it, might be the start of their million $.

I'm just surprised that the attendant could work out the change when offered cash!!

I would always pick it up because you'll never know when you might need it. One day you might need to pay $110.05 at a servo and they might not have the right change. It just saves time all round

Effective Writing Practices Tutorial - Punctuation

Punctuation

Punctuation fills our writing with silent intonation. We pause, stop, emphasize, or question using a comma, a period, an exclamation point, or a question mark. Correct punctuation adds clarity and precision to writing; it allows the writer to stop, pause, or give emphasis to certain parts of the sentence.
This section of the tutorial covers the most general uses of punctuation marks. Special attention is given to the most common mistakes that occur when punctuation does not follow standard written English conventions. The guidelines and examples given here do not offer a comprehensive analysis of all punctuation uses, rather a quick overview of some of the most frequent punctuation mistakes students make in writing. The section also covers the use of apostrophes and capital letters; these do not directly refer to punctuation but more to mechanics and spelling. However, just as with punctuation marks, knowledge of their proper use is intrinsic to good writing.
Take the Quick Self-Test to identify the common punctuation mistakes you may encounter in your writing. Follow the links included in the answers to the quiz questions to learn more about how to correct or avoid each punctuation mistake. If you prefer, you may review the entire punctuation section.
