Absolutely. If you do the exchanges you get about 3.5 gallons of a five gallon tank. The rest is an air pocket at the top of the tank. I get mine filled by a hardware store in Albany and they open the bleeder valve when they fill a bottle until propane comes out the bleeder valve. You can also tell by the weight of the tank if it is full. You really have to know what a full bottle fills like full though. I have five bottles and get them filled on a regular basis because of my outdoor kitchen. I cook outside probably five out of seven nights a week

That's a safety feature and SOP when filling a propane tank fwiw , it isn't a special service being provided to you.

And since basically all tanks are now equipped with an OPD (overfill prevention device) opening the bleeder valve isn't really necessary. I guess its still done in case an OPD has failed or something. I've had fillers complain of getting frostbite when messing with the bleeder valve so that may be why they don't use it very much.
Oh and when your tank is out of date by a month, telling to filler kid to stop being a little girl and just fill it isn't very effective. Though I probably wouldn't risk my life no matter how small the chance for $8/hr either.
