I was debating posting this, because it's not really something ridiculous I've heard from a customer, but here it is:

I worked at an ice cream shop for a year, and yes, there were times when customers would pay for small things with just coins. However, there was one time when this big family, who spoke very little English, came to our window and ordered a lot of ice cream sundaes, totaling around $35.00. Yep, they paid entirely in coins; not even quarters, it was mostly nickels and dimes. We were very busy that night, so we had to bring a couple people in from the back room, not only to help complete the order, but also to help count the money so that we could get to the other customers quickly.

Thankfully, that only happened once.
