It's more than a little difference. Change for a twenty is a couple bucks, change for a fifty is thirty-couple bucks. Some shops won't come near you if you ask for that much change, fearing a trap. There are people out there that will kill a driver for 30 bucks and a pizza. Mostly they don't plan on killing, they just get nervous and lose it, but won't even try in the first place, for only a couple bucks.

Strange. In the scenario I was given, they just took the pizza and not the money. I really don't like customer transactions where customers are regarded with suspicion. Like the 5 dollar fraud protection I have to pay to the bank for cashing a check at their location. I have to pay them money, in case I am a rip-off artist. Bullshit! If you haven't guessed already, I don't use their services anymore either.

Bruce give me 5 dollars just in case you suck more than I think you do. And don't even think of asking for change, thereby breaking my change policy.

What they do here is, call an order to be delivered to a stranger's house, sometimes a vacant house, and jump the driver when he shows up. Take the pizza, money, his wallet and sometimes his car.

Sure, give me your address and I'll drop it off on my way to my Arizona economy boosting vacation.
