Can a cashier refuse loose change.?

I live in the US and yes, a cashier can refuse change as a main payment. It all depends on the retailer or grocery store's policy. I work on the corporate level of a large retailer and as a manager I allowed my cashiers to refuse large amounts of change for merchandise. Stores aren't banks, if you need to kill some change, give it to the homeless.

Legally a cashier can refuse to accept payment depending on how much you are trying to pay with coins. Can't remember the exact ratio (a quick google should help as it differs in each country, I live in Australia)

Yes, a private enterprise such as a store can restrict forms of payment they consider acceptable such as loose coins, bills over 20, or whatever they want. The term "legal tender" refers to acceptance by government entities, not private individuals or businesses.

In Canada, it is illegal to pay a debt over 50 cents by using pennies.

looking at everyone else's answers I guess they can. Who wants a bunch of pennies in their cash register.
