That general rule probably applies to other places (maybe Steak 'n Shake); cashiers often don't know how to do it, but you can call someone who does.
Yeah, here's an interesting undercover piece about cashiers not knowing the law:

California has some kind of hotline or task force that you can call to report this stuff. Personally, I wouldn't call a state official to report that a 16-year-old fast food worker tried to cheat me out of a few bucks, but I suppose if no one ever reported it, no one would ever know.
