Many cashiers in stores today wouldn’t even know how to give you change, much less count it back to you, without their computer showing the amount.

One of the reasons I try to only use Quik Trip when I go to a "convenience store."

Besides their corporate support for "Folds of Honor," the first thing they teach new employees is how to count change back to the customer. The second thing they ingrain into their new employees is how important it is to make certain their bathrooms are clean. When I've needed to use one, I've never seen a dirty QT bathroom.

The unit prices are helpful. Unfortunately, they aren’t always correct. One time I pointed this out, the first employee didn’t believe I could figure this out on my own.
