Oh youll them if you paid attention.
The cashier's get into trouble if they have an incorrect amount of money in the counter and you're essentially telling them you're too good to bother putting the coins into the donations box sitting centimeters next to you.
If that isnt rude, I don't know what is.
This only applies to big discounters thought. The smallish shops and bakers don't mind at all.

If there is a donations box or a tip jar, I'm using that. But that's available in maybe 10% of shops (most drugstores, some bakeries, no supermarkets).
