"Old Farts like me give Free Advice"

[NateTheChops]

Something along thoes lines.

I didn't know I'd been doing my job wrong all this time. For some reason I usually hand customers the cash and the reciept with one hand and the hard change with the other.

I get ready to give the man his bills and he pulls his hand away. I try again he does it again.

"Give me the change first," He says in a condescending tone. "And place the cash and the reciept on the counter. It's easier for the customer."

I'm tired as all hell, so I kind of get this confused look on my face.

"If you don't know that by now someone should teach you. When you get to be old like me you give free advice."

I'm certain if real life ran like a chatroom, the letters WTF could be seen floating over my head.

maybe in your Alzheimers world guy, and it may be eaiser for you but most othere might NOT like it that way. and if he continued to pull his had away I would have just dumped coins bills and receipt on the counter.

but if I wanted advice I would ask for it not have it forced upon me by some self important person whose claim to fame was continued breathing for 80years

[Sliceanddice]

huh i was always thought it waseasier to ahnd over bills first then the change, so that the can dump the change in a pocket and put away the bills...

[powerboy]

I always hand the bills first and then the change. I also like handing it to them, instead of placing it on the counter.

[rerant]

Right, and then the next customer comes by, you do exactly that and they flip on you for not handing them their change directly.

People have gotten confused with my process of handing them change. I usually give them the coins first in one hand then the bills and receipt next in another. When people hand me bills and a receipt with the coins on top I always wonder what sort of logic they're using, since it always works out to be a little awkward.

[Slow-Jo]

ive always just hand them the bills then coin.
no one has whined about that method yet.

The only time I've ever put a person's money on the counter instead of handing it directly to them is with this one creepy old man that makes a point of feeling my hand when taking his change.

If a person were to repeatedly take their hand away when I tried to give them their change, the money goes into the tip jar as they obviously don't want it.

"When you get to be old and cranky like me you give free bad advice that no one wants."

That is the guy's line translated into normal English. Glad I could be of service.

Incidentally, the title of this thread could so apply to me.

Hell, give it to me in two hands, set it on the counter, cram it into my hand, it doesn't matter. As long as you get the amount correct.

I have been instruced to have coin in one hand . . .paper in another . . .hold on to it for a moment . . .get a phone number . . .then recpt will print . . .hand them coin . . .then paper . . .then grab bag with one hand recpt with other and ask if they would like the rcpt with them or in the bag.

And of the correct currency for the country that we are in.

[Chazzie]

That's odd. o_o Being a customer, I personally LOVE getting the receipt and then receiving the change on top. I mean- it doesn't make my week or anything like that, but the receipt certainly makes it a lot easier to put money back in my pocket. XD

[Bright_Star]

What the hell is the big deal? As long as they get their freakin' change then who gives a crap how they get it? They're lucky the cashiers don't throw the change at them.

[Cyanocobalamin]

My method was to give the customer coins first, then bills/receipt on top of that. That way, the coins don't slide all over the place.
