LOL. Typo: If you really seriously don't like it, go to school so you can have a serious profession and NOTbe a cashier.

In Japan, instead of hand-to-hand contact, there is a small tray at every cashier which serves as an intermediary. You put your money in the tray, and the cashier returns any extra money by putting it into the tray.

Even more rude is turning the next customer before I can place my change in my wallet. It worked out better in the past when cashiers bagged your purchase after giving the change.
I would provided the customer want in a rush or there is a long line.

I may put it on the counter while I am getting the correct change I want to give, but then I pick it up and hand it to the cashier...out of courtesy, you know.

Just want to say that I love you for counting back change. Very few cashiers do it - and even fewer seem to know how to do it the traditional way, by counting it backwards, ending with the amount that was given.

This is the only way I ever get my change back and it's annoying to say the least.

Jeez. Feeling a little hostile today??

I'm a cashier because I am 59 years old, work part time, and this is a little extra money for me. It's not my CAREER. And if it is someone's career, so what? Not everyone has the luxury of immediately being able to "go to school" and get a "serious profession".

And why is cashiering not a "serious profession"? It's a job that needs to be done, and there are people who are willing to do it.

Chill, darlin. And you might want to think about not being so judgemental.

I've never seriously thought about it one way or the other. Depending on the circumstances, I'll either hand it to the cashier or put it on the counter. No offense intended either way. Notice when you go to a bank or a casino cashier they lay the money on the counter. No touching.

I was at a street market yesterday and a helper to the booth owner took my cash - $21.00 for a purchase of $20.68. She said to the owner (who was busy talking to another customer), how do I figure out the change? I showed the helper how to start at the purchase price of 20.68 and take two pennies from the cash drawer to count up to 20.70, then a nickel to make it 20.75, and then a quarter to count up to the 21.00 I'd handed her. She looked at me like I was Houdini.

I haven't used cash in years. When I did, I always handed the cashier the money. I expect the cashier to hand me my change. I recall making a cashier pick up my money and hand it to me. I used to count my change as the cashier pulled it from the drawer. Although, I was always appreciative of the cashier counting it back to me. That said, thank goodness for debit cards!
