Can cashiers refuse small coins and $100 bills? is that normal?

No because you're a private company and you can refuse sales if you dont have change.

Ive seen videos of dudes paying for $300+ dollar fines to the government with pennies and they have to accept it and count it. I think the government has to accept legal tender regardless of if its in pennies or not.

Kinda a dick move to pay for small things with 100$ bill's.

Stores are not required to have unlimited change, and can refuse to accept payments that are beyond a normal change value (or within it if they don't have change).

Large payments with pennies can be banned as well in private stores if there is a policy against nuisance payments.

In the UK stores regularly refuse to take £50 notes because of how often they’re counterfeited. As long as they’re not discriminating on legally protected grounds they can refuse whoever they want, even if it seems unreasonable. It’s the same reason why a bakery could refuse to make me, a lesbian, a cake even if i view that as stupid.

Whether or not they refuse depends on the stores policy.

At the Target I work at we couldn't let customers pay for a small item with a hundred dollar bill because a lot of them would try and scam us and say we didn't give them enough change back(about twenty bucks). I had a few customers like this. They'd really try and sell it by screaming and making a scene when I wouldn't budge. (I was not about to get in hot water with my managers for being short in my register.) The second management would say they'll check the cameras, the customer would immediately drop the act and leave. These ghetto karens kind of ruined it for everyone else.

As for the second scenario, that one is generally considered inconsiderate. I remember when customers were paying in pennies for large purchases, they'd hold up the line and get harassed by other customers. Even after we'd open up other lines to accommodate everyone, they'd still be pissed off at the person paying in pennies and wouldn't stop letting them know.

I guess in the end, it's all denied to avoid trouble.

I live in the ghetto and even corporate companies refuse $100 bills.

I think it’s up to the company for real.

In the USA, if you're a leftist, black, brown, female or lgbt+, they better accept it, or somebody is going to end up suing the business. Only if you are a white male can they refuse without worrying.

yes most businesses have the right to refuse service for any reason as long as its not discriminatory

they wont take $100 bills because they are a common counterfeit

and they wont take pennies because no-one is counting 200 pennies and the revenue lost in a line of even 4 people is a loss to the business you can get around that by using Pennie rolls
