Then add on top of that this weird compulsion that they have to try and balance coins on top of bills and hand it all back to you at once.
Yeah, where's that coming from? When I worked at mickeydees (age 14), they taught us to hand over the coins first, then the bills.
Nowadays it seems everyone is taught exactly the opposite -- coins on top of the bills in a single unmanageable pile. WTF?
It's because of the way change is made now. Used to be that the clerk counted the change up from the sale value, to the tendered value. Now the electronic organ grinder tells the monkey to give back $2.11, and that's how they count it out 1+1 is 2 dollars and 11 cents on top.
Just as bad, is that the clerks are required to put the ten mile long register tape in your hand even before counting out the change.
Register tapes for small purchases used to be a lot smaller than a dollar bill. Now even when they are shorter they are still wider.
