Bradley Jay: 'Don't Assume I Don't Want My Change Just Because It Is Only A Few Cents.'

I have noticed a disturbing trend. Increasingly, cashiers at retailer's don't even offer to give me my change when it is only a few cents. In the most recent example, my total bill came to $9.97. I handed over a ten and he cashier just said, thank you, and did not even offer to give me my three cents change. Sure, it's only three cents, but it is my three cents. And don't make me seem cheap by making me ask for it.
Am I being a baby or is this a legitimate gripe?
