Chocolates for a Mixie

In India, or Mysore rather because that is all I can speak confidently about, it is common practice for a cashier to pass out a chocolate or candy if she doesn't have a 1 rupee coin for change. So for example today at the ice cream shop I only had a 50 rupee note and the ice cream was 24 rupees. There seems to always be a lack of change in this country- I seriously wonder where it all goes. So the first question the woman asks me is if I have change. I don't. But she does, which makes me wonder why she asked me for change in the first place. She gives me a 20 note, a 5 coin and a chocolate.
But today after I received my chocolate candy in change I thought of a new plan. We need a mixie to make Dosa and chutney. How about if I load myself down with say 8 bags of chocolates and when I get to the counter to pay I open the bags and start counting out 2000 or so chocolates?
