When a cashier gives you your receipt and your change in the form of both coins and dollars...?

Question

How do you manage receiving a receipt, dollars, and coins at the same time with one hand, and putting it in your pocket and wallet. You'd think you would first slide try to hold down the dollar bills with your thumb and slide your coins down to your other hand along with the receipt, put both in your pocket, and then take the dollar bills and put them in your wallet. But every time I try separating the coins+receipt from the dollar bills from my hand, stash the coins+receipt in my pocket and put the bucks in my wallet, I always feel rushed because there's people in line behind me and the cashier gives me this "Hurry the hell up already!" look. I know this question sounds kinda retarded but it's something that's always bugged me. It's like I'm not given time to put away my money where it belongs, so I constantly find myself walking off with my change in my hand and a foot long sub in the other. But yeah...it may sound insignificant but it kinda sucks for me.

Answer 1

I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one who feels this way. I HATE when cashiers do this, then here I am struggling to get my change, cash and receipt put away properly. I usually just dump everything right on the cashiers counter and SLOWLY out everything away properly. Just to piss her/him off. They inconvenienced me by handing me everything all at once, now it's my turn. Haha

Answer 2

The polite cashiers should hand the coins first, giving you a chance to put it away while they count the bills back! I was a cashier in a grocery store for almost 10 years and I made sure I didn't make a customer feel rushed! If the bill was small I would ask them if they still wanted the receipt. Half the time customers wouldn't care for the receipt because they would just turn and start walking right after getting the bills, no acknowledgment (so rude). Its rare to hear from people who are actually aware of those things. I also hate when cashiers give you looks. If they just stand there looking at you, sometimes they are told to not start ringing up the next person until the first person takes their bags and leaves, supposedly to come off non-rude..which backfires cause some cashiers don't know what else to do in those few seconds in-between but stare at you! I usually just scooch down and put my stuff away before grabbing my bags. Or tell them to put the receipt in the bag. Don't worry about holding people up too much..everybody does it, at some time or another, and often times worse!

Answer 3

Oh I hate that. These days I just step aside and deal with my change that way. A lot of the times i tend to put it into a pocket and deal with it once I'm out the way.



But if I'm in a mood I'll put my change away there and then. And then move along with my shopping. But these days I pay with my debit card to avoid that situation.

Answer 4

Wow, I thought I was the only person who felt that way. I face it everytime I buy something with cash. I now try to take my receipt and change and then move far enough away, hopefully still near the register/checkout etc, to put everything away without holding up the line



But I notice other people don't care if they hold up the line, or if they pay for everything with pennies, so maybe we shouldn't care either.

Hey Alex, I am not making light of your problem, but the way you describe your problem is really awesome (entertaining/funny). Kind of Seinfeldesque, I'm sure you have other stuff to say, you could be a good writer. My advice is to start keeping a journal of this sort of thing. I am not being sarcastic.
