Cashier Doesn't [know how to] Count Money at WalMart
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
I did something similar to that the other day at the farmer’s market. The bill was something like $9.46 so I gave her a ten dollar bill and .46 in change. She had to use her calculator!! But she was very pleasant.
Maybe she doesn’t know how
Q: Canada is the capital of what U.S. state?
A: Oh, I’m sorry! I was never good at geography!
Zero critical thinking skills, and these people vote alongside us.
I, in a louder voice told him that if there was a discrepancy in what I told him I was giving him, he should have said such as he was “counting”.
Just loud enough for others in line to hear what happened.
“Who’s buried in Grant’s Tomb?”

The correct answer is:
“President Ulysses S. Grant and his wife Julia Dent Grant”
He’s frustrated, just as many of us are at the appalling lack of service and the pathetic hires they throw at us to meet their DIE BS.
He asked for a manager, and you called him a name.
Maybe you ought to change your handle to the name you so freely assign to another who obviously didn’t plan to go to the store and make a video, but just make a purchase.
This isn’t new. I’ve not had anyone count my change back to me in 25+ years, at least. The register tells the checkout person or cashier how much change you have coming, which is handed to you in a wad, and that’s it. I shudder to think of the scenes we’d have if the register DIDN’T do all the math for them.
Thanks! I haven’t seen that in years and it’s funnier than ever.
I don’t understand, either. Why do people take video for silly reasons and then put the video online? I’ve had problems at stores, too, but I didn’t pull out my phone and record the employees.
Saying “Thank you” has gone the way of making change.
It’s arithmetic, not math.

I wonder why......
Been there, done that.
Kids today......
I’ve also noticed that when I give older cashiers odd change like that, they don’t even blink. they know. It’s only the younger ones who don’t get it.
When we homeschooled, I would not let my kids use calculators until jr. high, when they started algebra. I insisted they know how to do the math in their heads FIRST.
Calculators were used only as time savers because the equations were getting too long.
No mercy from me even in that one.
Very.
The comments being turned off tells me all I need to know.
When you deal in cash and paper, making change is quick and easy. You count back the change, starting with the price, up to the amount the customer handed you. My dad taught me when I was a kid, and I made change that way at a job for many years.
So, I, too, couldn’t understand why other cashiers had trouble when I could count change quickly in my head.
But, then... I took a retail job with a computer at the cash register. My old method of counting change didn’t work there. We had to input the amount the customer gave us. Then, the price would vanish, and only the change due would display. One busy day, a customer decided to change her amount of tender after I input it, and I had my own brain-freeze moment. Now, I will never judge another cashier again.
Exactly.......
Nothing teaches a child how to count and add/subtract change such as being given a penny bank at a young age. About the time they learn that money buys stuff they start learning to count and add how much money they need to reach a goal.
My husband would leave his change in a certain spot in the house and when the grandkids came in they would run to be the first to the money. They quickly learned to count how much was there and divvy it up among themselves.
