Anyone else do this with bills or change when paying for something?

[calveless wonder]

I don't know why i do this or have always done this, but today a cashier said something about it and i looked at him like he was stupid (even though most clerks are often to stupid to figure out what im doing. they just never say anything)

whenever i pay for something cash, assuming i don't have exact change, i'll try to get an even amount or bigger bill. change consolidation i suppose

i.e. something is 13.05, but i don't have a ten and 3 singles. i'll give 23.05 so i get rid of 1's and get a 10 back. instead of just giving 20.05

i hate cluttered bills or change.

i'll do the same thing if i have a bunch of pennies and something is say xx.78. I'll give 3 pennies and whatever dollar amount so i get a quarter back and get rid of the pennies.

i know i'm not the only one who does this.

[nimbus]

LOL! i remember when you did that

 

[AFeedz]

I do that all the time and sometimes cashiers look at me confused. Just do your job and give me the change I want, lady.

 

[ramnares]

I'm with you, I always do this and you're right, more times than not I get the, "What change am I supposed to give back now" look from the cashier.

 

[nydj66]

I always do that as well.

I worked in a convenience store for many years in college so I make change in my head very quickly. No one ever short changes me.

Of course, who wants a load of change in their wallet?
It is so sad that most cashiers can't do basic arithmetic in their head to make change. I help them if they are struggling.

I do this too. One thing I fucking hate is if I get a half dollar back with change. I always hand it back and ask for 2 quarters and the dickhead looks at me like I'm an asshole.

 

[ortiz34]

the dickhead looks at me like I'm an asshole.

Is that not normal?

 

[jnevin]

well yeah

 

[miplank]

Not anymore, now I just pay whatever and give the change and small bills to my son to put in his piggy bank.

 

[jiggagold]

I save all my change, prolly got close to a stack in this culligan

 

[redshirt27se]

i do that all the time.


i try to keep a few singles handy for small items, but other than that i don't want those shits in my billfold.

 

[B0ARDIN087]

I haven't paid with cash since 2004. Unless its for a cab ride or a lap dance

i had a period when i did the same thing.. now i never use my card and pay strictly with cash.

 

[lartinos]

I would ask customers this when I used to work the register.

 

[Frisky]

yep all the time and always get the look from the clerk.

 

[nangiggles]

I do it too, however I rarely pay cash for anything...

 

[jackangel]

i don't bother with any of it. the change and singles end up in asia minor, eventually.

fuck all of you.

 

[iggy]

always do it

 

[calveless wonder]

was iggy bombed for wearing sunglasses at night?

..which is why they're cashiers in the first place

btw: most cashier systems made in the past two decades give u the change once u put in how much u got.

[SpyWizard]

I do it as well, they have to use the register to figure out the change anyway..

public education.. got to love it..

my dealer's demand currency in whole denominations

ya ya but if you ask after they have punched it in, they are lost.

I think most people add the change to whatever bills they have. It is the fact that you add more to get an even bill makes you a bit OCD

I do like precision and order...
and I do dislike shaking people's hands because most people are festering with pooh germs ....
and I do frequently wash my hands to get the creepy crawlies off...
and I do feel unpleasantly out of control if the house is untidy...



oh s**t

I do that shit.

Why should clerks have a problem with that? They don't even have to count change anymore since the machine calculates it for them.

 

[Mr. dB]

I'll also do almost anything to avoid getting lots of coins back.
