    Javier was the standout in this scene for sure, but lets give props to the shopkeeper. His acting at being a confused, nervous, frightened old small town country gas station cashier

Given that he's introduced as being somewhat bumbling, it's a great moment of character depth: he'll look death straight in the eye and say, "Heads."

    But it’s the sheer acting prowess of Javier and the gentle old man that made this scene so freaking iconic.

    Javier was flawless in this entire Film but man this old man absolutely nailed it with his intonations.

As if this time watching it could end differently, even tho I know that's impossible. Amazing acting, not just from Mr.Bardem, but whoever played that cashier. Javier did an amazing job at being big, and intimidating in this scene. The cashier did an astounding job at acting small, and intimidated, and genuinely scared. Like, I'd say most people would act the same way in that position. One of the best scenes in film history.

    3:35 this part of the exchange, where the clerk asks what he stands to win and Anton says "Everything", always intrigues me. Watch the light leave the clerks face. Just look at his expression. And when he responds with "How's that?"; it's almost just instinctually said. And then for the rest of the exchange until the result of the coin flip is revealed, his entire body language changes. His lip quivers a little. I really honestly believe, while never openly said, the clerk understood at that point what was at stake with the coin toss. Add the sigh of relief once it's revealed? He knew. He knew exactly what was at stake.

      In my mind he did just enough to suggest he might have understood the situation. Perhaps even understood it, but couldn't come to terms with it. It's skilled acting because some of us read it one way and some the other, right there on the borderline of uncertainty. The fact that we can't be sure creates a personal tension with each individual watching the moment. An outstanding scene played to perfection, in my opinion.
      Not only that but the juxtaposition of the hitman involved in million dollar drug trafficking against the simple guy who married into a very small gas station business, is a commentary on the United States itself and the divide between rich and poor. There's so much in the scene.

(Could tell police what kind of car, Anton's description, prolly memorized the license plate #) I am confused about when Anton said then he'll have to come back which prompted the man to ask why would he come back. Because Anton could kill the man now, instead of coming back when dark to do it. He was killing everybody else in broad daylight except the shootout with Brolin at night.

    This movie is genius! The two coin tosses encapsulate just how deeply philosophical this movie is. Anton justifies himself by thinking he is no different from a tornado ripping through that gas station, leaving the old man's life up to chance. His psycho-epistemology makes no difference between the metaphysically given, which can not be judged, and the man-made, which is and should always be. In the second coin toss, he is hit with reality by Carla Jean when she refuses to play his game. "The coin ain't got no say. It's just you." A masterpiece!

      Its like I've read somewhere that anton does what is to occur naturally, like he is death. So Anton would think that the choice is decided by the coin but the thing is that the interpretation he gives to it,is what it means and what outcome he decides. So Anton is the killer and not a mere bringer of death like a calamity. He decides the rule and merely assigns meaning to the coins as he flips and decides by the coin who lives and who dies.

      The way he answers questions is so off putting. For example, when the clerk says “is their something wrong” Anton says “with what?” Clerk says “with anything” that’s where a normal person would respond with something such as “no, why?” And he responds with “Is that what your asking me?” And repeats the question “is their something wrong with anything ?” With a faint smirk. Just absolutely psychotic.

      To me it’s less about Anton staying under the radar and more about him simply being an agent of chaos, he enjoys the brutality, it’s not just a numbers game or a job to him, that’s just an excuse to do the one thing he really cares about, causing chaos, carnage and death wherever he goes. Letting the shop keeper live by chance is just another way for the writers to show that this man doesn’t care about his job or about being seen. That’s all just an excuse to be pure chaos and brutality embodied.

    Chigurh is literally the personification of death in this scene. He is cold and indifferent to circumstance. Death doesn't care who it is, what kind of life they lived, or whether its a good time for them or not. People could die at any moment, and whether they continue living or not really is based on random chance. This is what the coin represents.
