I went to grab lunch at work the other day and my meal came to $8.07. As I paid with a ten I was thinking about what coins I would get in my .93 change, when the cashier handed me $2 in paper instead. I was like oh... okay. And he said "yeah this is just easier."  And in my mind I was thinking, you lazy bum, give me the correct change! |

If you wanted the coin... my reply would've been you get paid by the hour.. I'll wait for the correct change...

Because you like paying higher prices for lazy cashiers? Someone will have to correct that till, and it will be the cashier or the manager.
I hate when that happens especially when you are in between being able to get boxes and the only coins you get to look are the change from purchases then BAM... no change. Yeah cashiers are lazy, thats why the prices are going up on everything to pay that extra 7 cents they don't want to count out a few coins.

Shadz, read it again. Mayflower got an extra seven cents. The greedy businesses you claim are out to get us are not. Seven cents is still less than what EPP would have cost. Rounding down cash totals does not cause inflation.

Yeah, and the cashier or the manager now has to pay that 7 cents, just like I said. No coins were given to the customer to look the change, and the business is out 7 cents. That means they will have to raise everything by $1 to compensate these occurances of nder 10 cents being "waived" so the cashier can quickly just hand over bills.

The manager doesn't have to cover it. The drawer will just be off. The cashier may get written up for it but they legally can't make them cover the loss that is assumed to be accidental. If it happens for a large enough sum they will likely be fired but the money is still lost. (Doesn't stop managers from trying to make employees pay it though)
I just wanted my change to sift through. Haha.

Many stores that allow cashiers to round in the customers favor like this accept that the till will be short a dollar or 2, and consider that a reasonable investment in worker productivity (less time counting out relatively worthless pennies) and customer relations (who doesn't love getting a few extra cents and not have to carry around heavy coins?).

Has this ever happened to you? I was walking into a SevenEleven and as I walked by the counter I heard silver being splashed all over the counter. Errrrrttt!! I immediately turned and went back to the counter to find a lady spreading half dollars all over the counter and counting them. I said, "Would you like me to exchange cash for your coins to make it easier?" She said why yes, thank you very much. So out of all the coins 6 were 40% silver halves. As I was walking through the store smiling and thinking about the nice score I realized that she had 3 young kids with her. They were begging for candy. So I went up to her and told her to let them pick out all the candy they want and that I would pay for it. It was the least I could do   |

Well, she was two seconds away from spending it. Plus kids got candy. Win Win in my book. What would you have done?
