hi mylot friends,
i have seen most of the people are paying high value currency for little things under 10 rupees in Indian currency and equal to $ .20 in US currency,they are ready to pay huge value currency in the early morning for a cup of tea costs less than 5 rupees ($.10) and for auto riksha the same amount,how the shop keeper or auto wala can give change for that big currency of 100 rupee note or 500 rupee note,they think that it is shame to carry the small change in their pockets,but most of the days i use to put some small change of coins in my pocket or purse,if not i will ask the tea vendor or auto wala if they have change with them?

i dont think there is something to be shy about having coins or loose change in pockets. 
in fact, people ask small bills when you pay something, even in malls. i get kinda embarrased when i dont have loose change like i buy a cup of coffee and it costs just 15pesos and i pull out a bill, say 500. the waiter or cashier usually raises their eyebrows. see? it seems so brazen and arrogant. i prefer to be low profile and humble.
in public transport when i have to pay 7pesos from home to destination, its very embarrassing to pull out a 100note. sometimes the driver would just ask you to step down. iiiiiiwwwwwwww!!! its just like i am asking for a free ride in not a straight forward way. so id rather have loose change or say that my cash is 500 before i order something.
i understand the saying "the customer is always right". but i say not always.
i hope i have expressed well my one cent opinion.
happy mylotting,ann

Hi yugasini, here in my place, if we pay with a high value currency like 50 ringgit note for little stuff less than a ringgit. It’s worse still if it’s less than 50 sen. The owners of the small stalls would regard that this is an impolite manner. They could hardly find more small a ringgit note and sen to give back the change. Very often they prefer not to sell the item, unless we have small change. To avoid such embarrassed situation I always keep some small notes and coins in my pocket.
We don’t find any problem paying in hypermarket or shopping mall. The cashers there would accept high value currency even if we pay for any item that costs little money. Yeah, it's a best place to get small change
