Counting back change

[julianna]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. Words cannot describe how happy I was to have it finally click in my head. I’ve had a math disability since kindergarten, i’m now a senior in high school and this really helped. I haven’t been able to get a job due to the fear of not being able to give change back, but it makes so much sense now! Thank you for this video.

Ur adorable. Smart about laying money on top of drawerer. These small tips are big lifesavers...👌

Thank you so much! I am 18 and have gone through 3 cashier jobs (only part-time jobs available that isn’t waitress or receptionist) and I have gotten fired for my drawer being short multiple times (biggest is $20) I have social anxiety and with the customers rambling, my first instinct is to get them out so I just try to give them close to the money without counting twice. I’ve received a lot of negative feedback from older people since I take too much time trying to count.

Thank you for sharing. My company never remind and teach us in such good way.

I love all the advice from the people who have never worked a cash register. LOL!

Make sure to give them the change on top of the bills so they have to set it down and separate the change from bills before putting away. It is also coming practice to put the receipt on top so it immediately blows away.

I'm not sure how I got here but I like this guy

That's not how you count back change. You count back to the amount that they gave you. so if it was $11.30 and they gave you a 20 he would start by giving them the $0.70 and saying 12 then give them the $3 by saying 13, 14, 15 and then give them a five and say 20. That's how you ensure that you gave them back the correct change.

Unfortunately schools don’t teach anymore. My kid sister couldn’t count change either. My first job was running a truck stop and restaurant. One day the power was out for several hours. I ran the place out of a cigar box with a calculator. Later when the power came on and we closed the shift I was off 3 cents.

So many people are commenting that he didn't count the change back properly. The point of the video was to give tips on how to protect the cashier, customer, and store, not give a math lesson. The register displays how much is owed back to the customer, so cashiers have to count that amount out loud when giving it to them. This ensures that no bills are stuck together and that you counted properly the first time, in your head. Now if the register freezes up or you accidentally hit cash tender, then you can use the 'correct' method. But trust me, doing that confuses most people. I have trained probably over 500 cashiers in my 20 retail years. Most need a calculator to figure out amounts if the register fails. :/ And most just hand the change back to customer without counting it to them, until trained.

I wish they'd put the receipt back in the bag like the old days

[gregspot]

No! I couldn't find the washing machine lint traps because you keep moving them to a new place every time I try to buy them.

Thanks for handing the coins back first and then the bills. I use Apple Pay exclusively because young people have no idea how to handle change.

Thank God for this first day of work was a fucking nightmare

Does the cash register show how much change you give back?

[jayd]

Also this will be pointless very soon as everyone will be using cards. There’s loads of shops even now who have stopped taking cash.

[lukask]

great advice, BUT you should also count it IN the same way!! and always rub the banknotes between your fingers to make shure they are not stuck together (that happens especcially if they are new...)

[jayd]

These days they have machines that return the change.

If the video is called "Counting back change" then count the change back properly instead of how he did it. In fact, it's even safer than how he did it because it ensures that you give back the right amount. It is one final check to make sure everything is right. You could have typed a wrong number somwhere on the register. Counting it back correctly will check for that. And it takes even less math than how he did it. Count the change back correctly by starting at $11.70 and counting up to $20 as you're gatheing it in your hands instead of going by what the register says the change should be. Then, when you have it, count it and see if you got the same thing rhe register did. If it matches, count it back to the customer a second time. If it doesn't match, you made a mistake typing something into the register. Also, older people will be delighted that you counted your change back properly because no one does it anymore. I delivered pizza and worked in a bank. One job, I didn't have a register and had to make change on the fly. The other, I had a computer, two calculators, and a money counter and had to be ultra precise. Both jobs taught me tricks to be fast and accurate. Always count back your change correctly. By starting at the total and counting back up to what they gave you. He gave his customers $8 and some change but he's trusting the register to have done the math correctly. He has no idea if that's actually how much the customer should get back. Had he started at $11.70 and counted up to $20 instead, he would know for sure. Because the coins would be a nickle to make $11.75, then a quarter to make $12. Then he needs three ones to make $15 and a $5 to make $20. Three ones and a five is $8 and some coins. So, see how it double checks the register's math? It ensures you typed and scanned everything right.

You make me want to be a cashier like how you explain it
