This s exactly how it should be. now please, start teaching students how to be adults.
So, I was shopping at a pop up consignment shop last night, and they had teens volunteering to help. I paid cash. They didn't know how to do change. Like, they punched the numbers into the computer but they literally didn't know how much quarters, nickels, and dimes are worth. WTF are schools even teaching kids??? Not how to survive in the real world that's for sure. And my area supposedly has one of the top 10 school districts in the state!
Pretty sad, but on the other hand, they probably don't use cash much these days. Their parents probably only use credit cards and phone apps.
I helped someone with this problem a while ago. They were from another country.
American change is kind of confusing.... In the country my friend is from the smallest coins are worth the least and the biggest are worth the most and the value is clearly displayed. We have nickels that are bigger than dimes and you don't have a big obvious number, and they all have different designs. , Their bills all have different physical sizes and colors too, which is pretty convenient.
That said, it's ridiculous that an American couldn't learn that system.
This is what I do sometimes. Say the bill comes out to $8.23, I'll hand them a $10 and after they enter that into the register, "realize" I have the 23 cents and hand that to them, and then I get the "thousand mile stare". It's sad how many kids just shut down and I have to tell them how much change they should give me. Sad thing is, I'll bet if I said $5.00...they'd just hand it to me, without a second thought.
I never had issues doing that when I worked a register not long ago.
Sometimes it's funny to hand them 5¢ if the total is like $10.07 or something. I find it funny to do, especially after they've entered the total in the register (they usually tell you the change)
