Where are they accepting?
@Milana: In large supermarkets, sometimes museums, restaurants will give change. But not in all of them.
@Milana: Very individual. At one gas station they gladly take it, at another they don't, the same goes for all stores and other institutions. At the bank they might take one per day, well, that's what I was told.. if you don't have a million, then don't worry, you'll spend it..
@Milana: If you see a supermarket with that name, go in. If the cashier can't give you change, there is a special counter that handles returns, exchanging large bills, etc. They will give you change there.. Just buy something. And the cashier will direct you there. So just exchange beforehand so you don’t have to struggle later. Of course, there might be something similar in other larger supermarkets as well, but in this chain for sure..
@.: The main thing is that the sizes are the same. There are no racks in the small store.
@Hellen: Well, yes, it's better to have a big supermarket, so it shouldn't be small. I'll text the girl now. By the way, I thought about this myself..
@Milana: I'm adding this one more thing, I was advised to choose a large supermarket of that chain, they have medium-sized ones, but you need a large one, and you can generally see them right away.
