I fucking hate that... It's like, "Ma'am, I'm terribly sorry, but I haven't used basic math skills in almost a year and a half because of this register. Please, just let me give you change."
Dude, customers are so dumb they don't read the signs on top of the isles and they'll go into an express lane with a shit ton of carts multiple times a day because they didn't want to look two inches above the lit sign to see " express " and get all huffy when I tell them so
Despite my scoring fairly high in advanced math, this totally trips me up. I manage a store.
However, for those of you who are all pissed off when this happens, this is part of your job. Get over it.
I always get pissed off when coworkers need my help because the customer gave them more money and they already typed something else in. It's really not that bad. Usually the change is perfect change or change so they'll get like a quarter back. You should be able to do that math in your head and if you can't you really do only deserve minimum wage.
This usually happens when ten people are in line. Just because someone doesn't understand math in stressful situations doesn't mean the deserve less pay. Save your negatively for the bathroom mirror.
Exactly. I'm usually happy to do it if it's slow, but if I got like 5 people behind you I'm trying to get you out quickly so I can get to them quickly. Plus, we've actually had A LOT of people overwhelm our coworkers with this shit recently. They'll wait and until it's busy then confuse and swindle the cashier saying they paid with bigger bills and shit making it all the more worse.
And 99% of the time they give change it ISN'T perfect change. I've had people literally hand me a handful of change to add and then I have to count that shit out and do the math WHILE THERE'S CUSTOMERS WAITING.
