[QUOTE="64Mustang, post: 324176, member: 1552"] It bugs me when cashiers (normally younger than 30) have trouble counting change, whether it is coins or bills. I have had numerous instances in the past couple of years where the cashier couldn't figure out what the change needed to be made without punching numbers into a calculator on their cell phone. Example is when the bill was $9.09 and I handed them a $10 bill and a dime. They entered $10.01 on the cash register and started to hand me back 92 cents....Bang head here. The icing was put on the cake yesterday so I figured I get it out there when it was fresh in my mind. I stopped yesterday at a local truck stop, got a bottle of pop and a hot dog. Total was $4.16. I had a quite a few bills in my pocket and some change. I handed the younger (20ish) male cashier a dime, a nickel and a penny first, then gave them a $20 bill. He hit $20.16 on the register just as I found the 4th One dollar bill I was looking for in my bills. I told him, 'here is four 1's instead of the $20' as I am holding the four $1s out for him. He's holding my $20.16 in his hand and tells me 'I've already hit the register' as the register pops open. He hands me $16 back (1, 5 and a 10) I hand them back along with the four 1's and ask for a $20 bill. He lays them on the counter (one 10, one 5, and five 1's). He spreads them all out so all 7 bills are showing. He counts them and asked me if I want a $20, he needs another $1 as there is only $19 laying there. I said, count again.

I just shook my head. It's pretty sad what is out there in the work force. Glad I made sure my kids know how to count bills and change.... [/QUOTE]
