Abstract
This study examined whether women use exact change more often than men when paying cash for purchases. Patrons at McDonalds and Wal-Mart were observed paying for items with either exact change ($2.53 for $2.53), bills and change ($2.75 for $2.53), bills only ($5 for $2.53), as well as 'evening up' ($5.53 for $2.53). Results indicate that women are more likely to use exact change or 'evening up' more often than men. Various explanatory theories are offered for this behavior.
