I know you're exaggerating slightly, but how would a coffee vendor make change for that many francs?

I'm exaggerating slightly, but after going on holiday to Switzerland, the coffee vendor doesn't need to give any change for a thousand francs.

(Serious price comparison: I walked over the St Bernard's pass from Switzerland to Italy. In Switzerland, we paid €6.50 for mediocre commercial ice cream. Over the border in Italy, €2 for the most incredible gelato. Although it may be that walking down a mountain to get it improves your perception of an ice-cream.)

Oh the coffee vendor would just give you the "so... no tips?" look.
