When you make change, and you pile it in my hand with the receipt on the bottom, and a pile of coins on top - and you do this so fast that I cannot move my hand in time to avoid the pain in the ass that is to follow - it makes me want to throw the money on the floor and punch you in the face.



That is all.

Got hostile?

That seems to be the standard now. Gone are the days where they actually counted back your change.

must be the heat

Thats because most of them cant even make change without the help of the cash register. If you dont believe me, wait until they have punched everything in and are ready to give you your change, and then say "here I have the pennies"..

My cashiers are trained to NOT use the cash register to determine the change due and to count the money back- starting with the coins first. We DO use the calculator at times however I want them to know how to make change (as sooo many people do not know how to)
I get many compliments on this!

This is sooooooooo petty. That is all

Feel blessed that you actually have enough money to have to endure getting change back.
In today's economy, many don't have this privilege.

I am lucky that I have two hands to seperate the recpt and change. :yahoo:

It's not petty. It's a pain in the ass. I would like very much to count my change to make sure I haven't been shafted, but when they just dump it in your hand it's not easy. And if there are impatient people waiting behind you, they get upset if you take the time. I want to count it BEFORE I get pushed aside.

I usually just drop any coinage change in a nearby jar for an organization or cause that needs it. Try it-you'll like it Toxick. :buddies:

What's even worse is... you get to the front of the line and say something like "hi hows it going" and the person ringing you out doesn't say a word or even acknowledge you back... THOSE are the people I want to punch in the face!

This is southern MD, I don't expect them to know how to make change, which is why I always double check what they give me back right in front of them... even if they are a short ONE penny, I will let them know it.

ditto. A good cashier will hand you your change back first, and then your bills. Also, when I see you texting between customers, and you think you are being all sneaky and no one notices, I think "if I was your manager, I would fire you on the spot, no questions asked".

And if there are impatient people waiting behind you, they get upset if you take the time.

That's their problem and they can wait their turn.

My peeves and petty gripes are MUCH more tragic than this. :humpf:

F-ing rich people.

At least you are getting change. Unlike some of the wait staff at CIP that decide to "round it out" and not give you your coins back.

I would like it if the cashiers would great the customer, chat a little, ring up items, give change properly (coins then bills). I as the consumer am not being picky or impolite just wanting the respect every shopper should get. Too many people are rude and impatient. Slow down and take your time.

Ruby Tuesday's does that too. It irritates me. They actually hurt themselves when they do that to me. If my lunch is $10, I will leave $1 on the table and include the change they decided to keep without asking me as their tip also. I would of left more if they wouldnt of kept the money without asking.

I did ask for my change and she walked away. That ended up being her tip. I didn't leave any more, just for that reason.

you're right, they looked stunned when you do this. then you tell them what the change should be they stilll look confused.

I did that at Outback one night and the waitress came after me and tried to stop me as I was leaving because I cheated her out of her tip. She kept almost $3.00 of my change because she said they did not give back small bills as change.

F-ing rich people.

:killingme Yeah right...

That takes a lot of nerve!

I consider myself a pretty good tipper esp with a great server but if I ever get shorted, not only will I not tip- I will talk to the manager.

Safeway must really not give a ####! They don't even hand coins to you....

What crap. I'd ##### to the manager and demand my $3 back. Don't assume my change is your tip. If you do, you will not get tipped. I've done some serving work part time and that is just plain rude.

I generally use cash at restaurants, but it sounds like the better option is to use a credit card at these places. They can't keep what they don't have.

And carefully check your receipt before signing and leaving, make sure the tip field is crossed off if you're leaving a cash tip, and you've filled in the total.

Don't forget to check your statement too, just in case.

Has that happened to you too?

Same thing happened to the LW and I a few weeks ago. 21 cents ended up costinf CIP $50 in gift certificates.

CIP?

Not sure if someone has mentioned it, but I'm really annoyed by those that ask me if I need change.

Thank you - you have no idea how happy I am to hear someone else with the same irritating little experience at the register. When they pile coupons, change and receipt in your hand...it's like ok now what do I do with it! You have no choice but to make a fist and wad it all up in a ball and walk out of store that way OR stuff it all in pocket or purse and dig for it later. And it can get messy too when it ends up all over the counter and floor...holding up the line!

Not sure if someone has mentioned it, but I'm really annoyed by those that ask me if I need change.

This is a common complaint but I'd just as soon they ask. Typically I hand them money and say, "The rest is for you," but if I forget I don't like them bringing their tip back to me. Not sure why that annoys me but I don't like leaving money on a table when I leave the restaurant.

Does anyone even use real money anymore?

For very good to excellent service, I invariably tip 20 percent.

For good to very good, 15 percent.

For Fair to Good service, 10 percent.

Anything below that, not only no tip, but a chat with the manager.

I just had this conversation with one of my employees a couple days ago. I am also trying to teach my 12 year old how to count AND hand back change. The piling of the coins on top of the bills is a pet peeve of mine!!

I used to do this when I worked at GNC. Sorry if you were ever my customer and wanted to punch me in the face. I probably wanted to punch you in the face just as badly. :huggy:

That happened once when hubby gave the cashier the extra change to try and make it easier for her to make change. She looked confused and was certain he was trying to flim-flam her. He never could convince her he wasn't even after he painstakingly explained it to her! :dork:

I do have to say when I cashier (I can count change LOL) it is annoying when the customer wants to "make it easier for me". It's usually after I've already got the change out, have a line and just want to get them thru the line. It's easier for me to just give you what I have already counted and get you out. I kind of go into robot mode when it's super busy and there are lines. In the grocery stores, the cashiers are timed on each transaction from beginning to end.

At the Family Dollar in P.F., I gave the cashier 4 $1 bills and she gets out this pen they use to detect counterfeit bills and swipes across each one.
I told her it would cost more than a dollar to make the damn things. She said: "they found one in Waldorf". Huh, I'll be damned. I said. So then I began inspecting the change she gave me for counterfeits. Whipped out my knive and started scratching on them. People behind me were quite annoyed.
I told her I thought one of the pennies was a bad one and would she give me another. I had to wait until she opened the register again she said. I said never mind I'll take it to the Sherriffs and left. Then the people were laughing at her.

Now that's kind of mean. She's only doing what management told her to do.

Then management needs to be stabbed in the lower abdomen with a rusty knitting needle that's been dipped in horse manure, with no antibiotic treatment afterwards.

Prob'ly too little, too late; but I remember when you used a $20 for, say, a $6.25 purchase; the cashiers would cound back your change, starting with the bills; three $1.00 bills, a $10 bill, then .75. Change was always last.

Just wanted to mention I was in McKay's today. The cashier put the change in my hand first and actually counted my bills back. I was quite impressed.
