You don't have to wait for the register to go down to make a modern cashier have a mental segfault - just give them extra cash so you get less bills back.
For example on a $6.95 order hand over $12 and watch first for the bewilderment while keying in the amount and then the amazement when they give back the non-dollar bill change.
- js2 13y agoThis always makes me sad and I'm shocked on the few occasions (rarer every day) when change is correctly counted back to me: "5 cents make 7 dollars, and 5 more dollars is 12. Have a good day."
- finnh 13y ago"fewer" bills back, not "less". pedantic? yes. but as a fellow member of the "give-em-too-much-to-get-fewer-back" tribe, I feel that you might appreciate this particular bit of pedantry.
- vacri 13y agoOnly for a new cashier, really. It doesn't take long to understand what the customer is doing - once you've had a few "I can't make change for you because I'm out", it all makes sense and cashiers start to like the customers who minimise the change requirements. I remember talking to someone who had clearly never worked in retail, complaining about their god-given right as a consumer to have change made for them trumping an open-air market vendor's right to have change for the rest of their sales for the day.
