    Thank you so much I just started a new job last week and today I just started with the cash register and I had the hardest time giving the proper change back and it was super stressful and embarrassing bc I am 18 years old and should be able to do this right away but my brain just pauses and can’t process anything even when it tells me how much to give back to the customer so thank you again for the help even though I should have learned this in school 9 years ago so thank you a lot I’ve even wrote it down on a piece of paper for a reminder to bring with to work tomorrow! ❤

    • @JoAnnsSchool
      @JoAnnsSchool  5 місяців тому +4

      Knowing the concept of what's happening and how to react will definitely help you to be better at your job. But, keep in mind that most registers nowadays allow you to key in the amount the customer gave you, and will automatically tell you the amount of change. It's better to know, in case the power goes out or the register breaks. It makes the difference between an 'okay employee' and an 'excellent employee' (and can help you rise to a higher position).
      The first couple weeks will be a 'learning curve', and then the routine will be easier. Any time in life that you can make it past the 'learning curve', you'll be successful!
      Pay attention. Be efficient, accurate, tidy, and courteous, and you will do very well.
      Good luck! : )

BUT do not rely on this because there will be days the computers are down and all the math will be in your head, just dont feel rushed and take your time. your customer would appreciate getting there proper change back than you being fast and messing it up@@LUCA-bb3te

    Yep, that $5.01 gets people fired real quick. Because, most would give back $4.01. But, that's the one, where the pennie back doesn't count as a dollar, or the next number. Very confusing stuff, sometimes. Everybody thinks they know how to count change back, until this situation happens, then the customer usually 9/10 times gets shorted a dollar lmao.

      @@tom4208 The other method would be like if the total due was $19.55 and they gave you $20.05, you would count up the change to $20.05. That way is OK but harder for some people.
      It would be easier to take off the .05 (nickel), to make the total $19.50, then give 50 cents as the change for $20.
      Also remember to give the largest coins you can so they don't end up with a giant handful of change of pennies and nickels .

    • @JoAnnsSchool
      @JoAnnsSchool  2 місяці тому +3

      If you're referring to timestamp 3:30... without the dime, 2000 - 1509 = 491. That means the customer is going to get 4 dollars and 91 cents in change. That's a lot of coins.
      By first subtracting the 10 cents from 15.09 to get 14.99, we count up to 20 dollars even.
      2010 - 1509 = 501 which means the customer will get a 5 dollar bill and 1 cent. By the customer giving the dime, they get less coins as change. Many people can do this in their head, to get less coins. A good cashier will understand what the customer is doing.
      If the cash drawer is getting low on 1 dollar bills, the cashier can be smart enough to ask the customer if they have a dime, to give them a 5 dollar bill. :-)

    A simpler way to do it is to simply subtract. So if something is 5.00 and they give you $10.01, just take the $5.00 from the $10.01.

    • @JoAnnsSchool
      @JoAnnsSchool  7 місяців тому +8

      Well, the customer wouldn't give $10.01 for $5. They'd just give $5.
      The reason customers give extra change is because they don't want pennies as change, or any coins at all. If the total was $5.01, and the customer gives $10.01, then their change would be a $5 bill.
      Or is that what you meant and accidentally switched it around?

    • @JoAnnsSchool
      @JoAnnsSchool  3 місяці тому +3

      People give extra coins because they don't want MORE coins.
      If the total is $15.05 and the customer gives $20, the change is $4.95.
      4 one-dollar bills and 95 cents in change can be a bother.
      If the customer gives $20.05, the change is just a $5 bill.
      The customer gives the extra 5 cents to only get paper money as change.
      Watch Part 1 and Part 2 again, but make sure you know how to count money first, without change involved. Millions can do this...so can you!

      If the cashier is already handing you the change, the most POLITE thing to do is accept the change and say, "Can I give you these coins for a dollar bill?" afterwards.
      It's best to give extra coins for paper money before they start counting out your change.
      If you can do it before they start counting, when you first see the total on the register display is best. You need to know which paper money you're going to give them... count how much the change would be before you give them that money...count up to the dollar amount.
      If other people are waiting in line behind you, it's very busy in the store, it's best not to disrupt their counting. If you aren't quick enough to do the math and REALLY don't want coins, maybe quickly ask them after they hand you the change and before they close the drawer. Some places won't allow them to re-open the drawer once it's closed.
      Example:
      The cashier enters all of your items and hits total and it's $15.50.
      You have a $20 bill. The change would normally be $4.50
      You think...50 cents more is $5 in change which you prefer, so you give them the 50 cents more as $20.50.
      The cashier gives you a $5 bill as change.
      It's the same as if it was done afterwards, and they gave you the $4.50...you took it...handed them back the $4.50 with 50 cents and asked them if they could give you a $5 bill. :-)

      @@Andrew-it7fb your register is going to be over or short at the end of the day if you don't give the customers the right change. Sometimes you may have to call a manager or someone that has permission to open the till to give the customer the proper change. I've been a cashier for over 15 years so I know how the register works

      @kubotaman85 And when you have already counted out the propper change out, it's not going to be off. It's not the cashier's fault that the customer gave the payment they did. I was a cashier, then I managed my own store. Now I'm an investment trader. The math is not the problem. I could calculate the total with tax in my head before the register. Changing payment after it's counted out is just annoying and some people use that as a means to scam people by repeatedly switching. That's why a lot of stores have a policy of not changing once you enter and count out their change. They can go to a service desk or better yet, a bank.

      @@Andrew-it7fb Have you ever had a cashier make a mistake where they entered the wrong amount given into a cash register? For example A customers total is 5.97 and the customer gives the cashier 6 dollars and the cashier accidently enters 600 dollars. The important part of this mistake is to make sure the cashier gives back 3 cents to the customer and not $594.03 which would make your cash drawer short. It is very important to know simple math just in case of a mistake. Another example is when a cashier presses the cash button instead of entering the cash amount given to them. I've been a cashier for over 15 years and I have helped my coworkers with these types of mistakes. I had a coworker yesterday where the total was $2.10 and my coworker accidently entered $300 into the register. I had to tell them to give the customer back 90 cents and not $297.90 and I had to tell them as long as you give them the 90 cents back and not $297.70 it will not affect your register. If you have a customer that gives you change after entering the amount you can still figure out the correct amount to give back to them without affecting your cash drawer. Let's say a customer's total is 6.25 and they give you a 10 dollar bill then give you the 25 cents after you entered the amount. In this case you would owe the customer 4 dollars back instead of $.3.75. I've had many times where the customer has given me change after I've entered the amount. As long as you give the correct change it will not affect your drawer.

      Some with disabilities (such as dyscalculia) makes picturing numbers and mental math near impossible unless very basic) rely on the cash registers. I’m an amazing employee but sometimes my disability does make it hard when it comes to change.

      Count out how much he's getting back and hand him the paper bills and keep the coins part for yourself as a tip, or in the cup of pennies that some places have on the counter.

    I never take change as in coins from a cashier as i have been burned a good handful of times because they give out Canadian coins but yet a day later, i go to use that Canadian coin not realizing its Canadian and they have a fit about it so i got a 4 barrel coin changer (like the 1980's ice cream man had) and i just buy coins from the bank.
