The trouble is when some smart alec tries to pay in pennies in order to harrass.

No the trouble is that I am not the cashier because I am Queen of the Smart Alecs!!!
I would have not problem with the “smart alec”. We move the shopper to a clear space. I would then assign one of the stockers to assist the shopper in counting the change, place in in coin slips, have the shopper put their name and phone number on each coin slip. The shopper is then processed back through the checkstand. Any Manager worth their salt should know the difference in needs.
