When handing money over to a cashier do you... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 01-30-2007, 02:42 PM

tend to just give the money over or do you do what I do, fix it and arrange it so the bills are all facing the same direction?

Having been a cashier in my past life, it was annoying to have to fix the bills in an orderly fashion prior to putting them in the cash register. When the drawer needed to be counted at the end of the day, it made it easier to have the money all organized, ready to be counted. So, to make things easier for the cashier I give my money to, I always do that.

When I was in high school I use to work at a clothing store, and I would HATE IT when customers handed me money that was all crinkled and balled up. How do people keep track of money that's balled up in their pockets???? Also I hated when people would throw their money down on the counter.

Anyway to answer your question LOL, I use debit or credit I never carry cash on me anymore. I've gotten to where I hardly write checks anymore.

I think you need to change your screenname to Debit-or-Credit...

Seriously, yeah, those folks that would have this money all bunched up and folded, crinkled, etc. is so unorganized. I mean, I have money (usually dollar bills) like that in my purse, but I don't use those to give to a cashier. I tend to clean out my purse and organize any money that isn't in my wallet.

I tend to use checks or my debit card. I hardly use cash anymore. I find it so cumbersome to handle a lot of cash. Plus, I find it so much easier to keep track of what I spend when I use checks or a debit card.

When I do use cash, I always hand it to the cashier in an orderly fashion. I also worked as a cashier and it really disgusted me when people handed me money that was balled up or even in their shoes or mouth

It also annoyed me when a customer would throw their money at me or put it down on the counter right under my outstretched hand

I think people who do that are usually control freaks or germophobes.

EXACTLY!!!! That was a pet peeve of mine. Who wants to touch money that's been in your nasty sweaty shoe??

Well, I keep all of my bills in sequential order and facing the same direction in my wallet, so that's how I hand them to the cashier.

Courtnee · 01-30-2007, 05:10 PM

I just hand the cashier my money. He/She can fix it if she needs to. That's his/her job.

TJL · 01-30-2007, 05:19 PM

In the rare instances i do pay cash (my debit card gets quite a workout nowadays) I try to arrange the bills.

I too used to work a register when I was younger, so I remember how important it is to keep the cash in order.

Janice · 01-30-2007, 06:11 PM

When I do pay with cash, which is almost never these days, I hand it all neat and going in one direction. Most cashiers don't even raise an eyebrow when I pull the bills out of my bra.

Kidding.

I hate when they put the money on the counter, especially coins. I've seen both customers and cashiers do this. Just rude.

I know what you mean. It is always courtesy and proper manners to hand cash over in one's hand. When a cashier starts to put it on the counter, I extend my hand so the cashier can't miss it and they get the message that I PREFER THE MONEY BE PUT IN MY HAND, while it gets counted.

That's another thing, I always counted money back to the customers, so they didn't think they were being short-changed and also, so I knew that I was giving back the correct amount. Most cashiers just give bills and coins all bungled up without ever counting it back. How do they know they gave me the proper change?

Tease.

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 01-30-2007, 06:35 PM

I used to be a cashier and I never put my money in my register facing the same direction. Mainly because I never really understood why that was such a big deal, so I kind of boycotted the act of actually doing it.

Yooch · 01-30-2007, 08:04 PM

I arrange the bills.

KissMyGrits · 01-30-2007, 08:13 PM

I always arrange the bills! That is my biggest pet peeve. I too was a cashier and always made sure they were facing the same way.

My husband never puts his money facing the same way! Drives me crazy!! LOL!!
