Counting Change Back

[DLeon]

why can't we just use credit cards nowadays...

In the coming days I'll be a cashier, and honestly, math has always been difficult for me. Hopefully I can learn all I can before then.

Explained this perfectly. I've become so dependent on my cash register that when it glitches I become nervous and forget all common math. So it's good to watch these videos to brush up on these techniques so you don't second guess and embarrass yourself. Thanks for this!

I’m a cashier now and what I don’t like most is when a customer told me she had change after I put the amount into the register and hit total. That meant I couldn’t go back to fix it and I had to use my slow brain to do the math. And it freaked me out!!

[MyThoughtzAndOpinionz]

It’s sounds weird, but I’ve always found it easier to countdown.

You are correct in counting up. However, you count up using the smallest denomination first. Example, coin lowest dollar highest dollar. If there is no coin, you simply count up from the lowest dollar to the highest dollar. If their sale is $2.19 and they hand you a $10 bill. You give them one penny to make it $0.20 one nickel to make it $0.25 and three quarters to make it $3. Then you give them two ones which totals $5 then you give him a $5 bill. I do not recommend giving them like he shows the $5 bill first and then the ones. I understand it however it is confusing.

My brain is sizzling like an overworked power outlet. A lady once yelled at me because I didn't round up her change? Or whatever its called where she gives more money so she gets back less change

I'm a cashier & i hope i don't ever have to this. Nowadays we use automated cash register. This tip would be really helpful if I understand what you are doing.

Most register laterally do the math for you. Memorize the 6 buttons, on the register and it's done. If a bill is 27.54, and they pay with a 20, and a 10. The register will tell you the change to give. In this case $2.46.

Counting change back also does one IMPORTANT thing and that is the coins go into someone's hand first. Coins stay in your hand better than they do on top of paper bills and receipts like some of the idiot cashiers hand you your money. Coins slide off paper too easy. The PROFESSIONAL WAY is coins in the hand with paper on top and no damn receipt at that same time. The receipt is to be handed SEPARATELY. It is too hard for a customer to sort out more than two types of money with one hand. Actually give the customer a chance to put the coins away if they seem to prefer that. This procedure was done for decades until these new stupid cash registers came out. I have more trouble with these beginner cashiers acting all smart assy when I tell them the right way. The idiots even put the money you hand them right IN the drawer instead of laying it crossways. That is the proof of what the customer handed them, not what is showing on that computer screen. If the customer says they handed you a different bill you can show them exactly what they handed you.

Math is hard in general never been good at it lol history is my favorite

[azuregray]

I think I'm really slow cuz I di not get this video lol I know how to count tho so I guess that's why I'm a good cashier 🤷🏾‍♀️

[Augiedavis]

Nope. You count up from the smallest to the largest.

[BTS_AI]

Welp that goes all the jobs out the window

[dbdigital]

Hey - it was $2.75 and then when you counted back you did it from $1.75 so you gave him back 1 extra dollar...also you count up with the smallest bills ($1) to get to the next largest denomination ($5, $10, etc as needed). So for $2.75 this would be: 1 quarter, 2 $1 bills to make $5 and then a $5 bill to get to $10...SMH

[KareenaStrait]

That was awesome. I like this way of counting when using the cash register.

[minkvelour]

This is not how you count change back. You don't jump from 25 cents to 5.00 and back down to one dollar bills. Give the 25 cents first, then count up from there using the next denomination up, so that would be the one dollar bills then the five.

[TimXMan]

This was super helpful I appreciate the vid

[juliete]

He says $2.75 but counts out the change for a $1.75 bill... which is what has been making me watch this video far too long to make sure I was not incorrect...

[bustercherry]

incase you dont get . start with your buying cost say 2 dollars. and you give a 10 . you start with 5 dollar bill which would be 7 then 3 1 dollar bill which would be 10 they gave you
