It's a balance. If someone tells you that's 19.99 and you hand them a twenty, you're generally not expected to wait for your cent change. Similarly, if something costs 20.01 and you give them a twenty they're not gonna say where's the cent (usually). But if it's say 5.17 you're probably not going to hand them a tenner if possible: a fiver and then "let me see if I have the 17". Sometimes cashiers will ask you to give them the odd cents so they don't have to give you back notes. It's all about, I believe, when it's convenient for them too, when you're helping them. That's how it is here anyway.
