So Annoying!!!!!!

[kat1]

Why do cashiers give you the change & receipt all in one go! When i worked in shops many moons ago you were trained to first, count out the loose change, then the notes, then the receipt last.

Because counting up to the value of the amount tendered used to show that the cashier had correctly calculated the change. Now that the till (or, more accurately, the store's EPOS system) does that automatically the process is no longer necessary.

Maybe. It is really annoying when when you get the notes and then the change on top. While trying to manage your shopping and a toddler.

Yes micmak that's what i'm getting at.

I always try to give the change first, then hand notes over. That way the customer can hold the change in their hand and grab the notes with a couple of fingers.

I have tried to give people change first but sometimes they get very confused and forget the notes!

Though the EPOS system will tell the cashier how much change to give in respect of the transaction/amount tendered it is still the cashier who counts the change out and the cashier should count it back to the customer as a double check to confirm accuracy- in all the stores where we carry out compliance auditing in, this criteria is part of the visual till operation checks

Because some of us cashiers couldn't care less how you get your change, as long as you get it, and you bugger off home ;-)

Seriously ,this annoys you? You need to get out more, if a piddling thing like this is "so annoying".

Take my advice, whenever a cashier examines a £20 note (to check it is genuine) that you have tendered in payment for goods – make a point of carefully examining any bank notes given in change (holding it up to the light to observe the watermarks) – while doing so, occasionally glance at the cashier, to suggest that they are the type of person who would try to palm off a hooky bank note.

i think many just think it looks nicer...more 'neat' or something...like a little parcel or pile of change for you...no logic though, as you of course have to scrumple up the note to stop the coins falling, or angle it over your purse and pour them in

it is annoying...but not that annoying...

because 27p back and a piece of paper doesn't require precious thinking throw it in the rude customers face and be done.
