*blog... kind of... *rss « 23 years... Jackie Chan » cashier number five please... 24.06.2005 3 comments Ok, that's something that really upsets me. And also that happens everywhere, london, barcelona, madrid, ... So, you go to any supermarket, you get the products you want, everything ok, oh! i fancy those chocolate eggs.. bum bum.. ok.. Time to pay that! wow! a lot of people doing queue for the cashiers.. ok.. well.. lets wait. Wait wait wait, some guy trying to do queuejump.. You look at him with your worst face.. wait wait wait.. Ok, the cashier says, "neeext please" with the worst tone of voice you ever listen. The products are checked, you pay with yous humble money.. and then.. here we comes the problem. They usually give you the cash back like that. They put the notes on your hand, and then the coins on the above the note! What am I supouse to do now? Juggling? If I don't control that probably all the coins will fall! Why don't you put first the coins and then the notes? If you do it like that i will be able to hold the coins with the palm of the hand and use my fingers to control the notes easily. Two theories. 1. They are dumb. 2. Cashiers strategy. They give you the money back like that so you are not able to count the money easily, and then you are (somehow) faster and if they gave you less money, that's just money that they win. What's your theory? posted by ricardo cabello at 22:46 3 comments written so far In theory (although I agree it's not like that in practice), they are instructed to do it like that, because the weight of the coins would -supposedly- put the note against the palm of your hand, while still being able to hold the coins. Also it's made like that so you can see all the coins and notes at first sight, having the coins hidden by the notes would be kind of suspicious for some people, I guess. posted by Jcl 25.06.2005 , 02:17 Probably you're more than right, but I still don't think is the best way (tho everyone does it like that). What about just give the notes, wait for you to save them in the bullet, and then give the coins? I don't know, I didn't have these problems in my town!! ;D posted by trace 27.06.2005 , 12:15 boh! in valencia they let you the coins over the counter and then the notes over it, so you have to try to pick up each coin which for some strange reason is like magnetically sticked to the counter X) posted by sole 27.06.2005 , 13:46 SORRY! Is not that I don't care about what you have to say, of course I do, but they are speaking louder and I lost my patience :(
