I worked as a cashier. I’m not here to do math that’s why I’m using the register no you can’t give me another dollar to get an even $10 back. NEXT. Also as a customer no I do t have another $1 so you can give me an even $10 back
Edit: the machine does the calculation once I type in the amount you hand me. If I type in the amount and press enter and the drawer opens and you want to give me more money (not always an extra $1 or $0.01) I can’t input another number, the transaction is done. I’m not doing more math to keep my drawer even. Take your change and leave.
Yall sound like customers who’ve never had to be a cashier before.

You are literally here to do math and the register is just keeping track of it and helping you out to make sure the math you are doing checks out.
I didn’t ask for more to make the change even either as a cashier, but I did understand when they gave extra to get even change because doing math was my job.
You seriously couldn’t be bothered to add 1 in your head? Honestly, that is terrifying. It also makes it so you have less work overall. Handing a $10 is much easier than handing a $5 and 4 $1s.
The register machine literally let’s you input the amount of cash given by the customer and it tells you how much to give back as change. You are just refusing to do your job at this point for no reason when the machine is already doing the math for you.
I worked a register, and just made change out of the drawer like I was taught–start at the pennies and work your way up. The register had the option of entering the tended amount, but I never used it. It’s not hard to do at all, I’m terrible at math, but I can handle adding and subtracting below 10.
This was 35 years ago, though. Public school has been shit since Bush.
I get you, but cashiers are trained to be impatient and never wait for me to pull my change purse out to round it up, even if I tell them there’s more coming.
This is how it typically goes:
Cashier: Your total is $10.50.
Me, handing them $20: Here, hang on to this, I’ve got some change.
Cashier snatches the money, enters $20.00 in the machine and stuffs it in the drawer as I fish out the appropriate change.
Me, as they are in the midst of gathering a large amount of change from the drawer: Here you go.
Cashier, interrupted during their change counting, furrows their brows at me as if I just tried to pull a fast one on them.
It can’t be a quick change scheme if you haven’t given me my change yet. Just don’t be in such a rush.

Huh? The point in giving an even 10 back to the customer is that it keeps more change in your float. It’s for the cashiers benefit not the customers.
Just go to the safe and get more cash? It’s not that hard

Absolutely, yes! This is something he has to do all day, and gets fired if he does mental math wrong. An easy thing 1000 times is hard.

Telling me you have more coming and magicking more money out of thin air are 2 different circumstances so I get where you’re coming from.
