Go get a job being a cashier Jim; "create the change in the world you'd like to receive."

I agree, too many idiots

I dunno man. Maybe he's a teenage trainee not used to handling money like a decades old fajita, maybe he's strategizing about how to best divvy up the change for the fewest trips to the coin reserves, or maybe he doesn't have that exact coinage because he didn't. Maybe he has a quarter, two pennies and three dimes and has to think about it because he usually gives out two quarters, a nickle and a two pennies.

Plus if you weren't watching him make change [while in line] maybe something just distracted him. Light in his eyes. Boss talkin' about firing the kid who can't even count change. Speaking of the boss, maybe he got on his ass 'cause he was too quick and gave a customer one pennies too many. Some shops are anal retentive about getting the exact amount the register says they should get every single time, like the person is some sort of machine.


Who knows?

Tap and pay does wonders.
Yet it did make people lazy with maths.

Maybe he is a trainee, but you should be able to count monies well before you enter the workforce. It's a general life skill, not some esoteric trade secret.

Wtf is change?
Is that the weird thing they hand me when they don't swipe their credit card?

Some of us prefer the government not knowing every single transaction we make. So learn cash or be excluded from the cool people part of the economy.

But then you won't get sweet cashback/points.
Jamie Dimon PERSONALLY hands me my $5 cashback check every month.

It's caused by brain damage. As I've laid out several times now. You're going to be living in Idiocracy before too long.

If you're even a few cents off at the end of the day the company gets big mad.
They are probably just being careful and double checking. Chill out and pay with debit if you care lmao.

2 + 2 = 4
4 - 1 = 3

Quick Maths

Too many kids tapping their credit cards rather than learning how to do basic arithmetic.

couldve been special needs?

great tribe btw

shops don't want to emply anybody over 17yo due too expensive as cashier
+ children these days don't learn as good calculus as those still raised before budgetcuts in education and before computers.


when I was a teen you would get fired on the spot if you had 3 register errors EVER.
flawlessness was expected. it's not rocketscience it's change.
oh and we also had to imput all prices manually + knew all product pricing by head (we could not trust the stickers.., as people would rip them off and swap them all the time.. so our entire stock you needed to know prices from head)
-and ofcourse the register would NOT display the amount of change.. so if it was 9.55 and the customer handed you 10 you had to deduct yourself you had to give a quarter and 2 dimes back.

which by the time I was in my 20s to old to be hired in those jobs changed into mindless bleeping the items over a scanner.. which TOLD them how much change they had to give back...
and getting a bonus if they made less than 25 euro worth of mistakes in a week.


about a decade ago during a trip in norway.. I saw there "exchange money machines" in supermarkets basicly you had the cashier your note.. they only imput the banknote handed your change is ejected by this dispenser.. not by the cashier.
I hated them but was told.. stores installed them due it to hard to find staff that can calculate anymore..

and today if it's not self check out pay card only.. those systems are in my nation too

goverment seem not to care.. they talk all the time about cashless society.. and make no secret they want to get rid of cash the first time they think they can get away with that..
