Especially if it was one of those customers who practically looks for reasons to get angry at the business.

If they deserve a tip, I'll leave it. The only time I want them to keep the change is when I give them the extremely conspicuous "thank you" as I hand them the money. It seems pretty well known that it means "keep the change" because I'm sure I don't need to thank them for taking my money. I think they should automatically assume you want your change back.

I think they should be educated.. I've had zero experience with their line of work but I know I wouldn't ask if someone wants change -- is this a class standard? Do people have no class?
