I've seen it all the time, before and after euro. In my city there are a
lot of tourists, and most of them are not familiar with Euros now, and
lire before. They just fill they hands with coins and let the cashier pick
up the right ones, accepting back any change without counting. Happens at
little shops and supermarkets too, and sometimes with big notes (10-20-50
euro) as well.
I never saw a cashier taking advantage of it.
