Why do companies hire retards with no math skills at all to handle cash registers at their businesses? I've had 3 experiences in the past few weeks that I will now share with you #1 Game Stop (Im already in a bad mood)Total comes to $35.47, I give the cashier $40, he types that into his register, as I say "Wait I have 47 cents"  He looks at me confused and says, can i just give you 4.53? I already punched 40 into my register and dont get want to get in trouble.  I say " Just give me the 5 fucking bucks"#2 Dunkin Donuts (I get the same coffee from the same dumb bitch every day)Even though I get the same coffee at the same time, the same way, from the same bitch every day, she still has to ask me what Im getting, then when she gives me the coffee she has to reconfirm what I ordered, and then charges me a completely different amount every single fucking time, thank god she got fired.... Oh wait they hired another retard to take her position, hooray#3 Dunkin Donuts 2 (New broad same problems) I order a large iced coffee, 2 sugars, 2 creams, and a shot of espresso.  She replies "EXPRESSO, whas dat, da green button?"  I say, "i have no idea, i don't work here" she says "yeah i think its the green button" I get my coffee, it's black, and ask "is there cream in this"?  She says "Yeah, you want some mo?"  I hold it up and say "There's cream in this"?  She takes it, puts "more" cream in and then says "wait you're right I didn't put cream in this" I smile and laugh politely at her.  She then asks "Anything else"? I say "Two old fashioned donuts" She rings me up, I pay, she tells me to have a nice day.  I Ask "How about giving me the donuts, lady". #4 7-11 I get a coke, pack of smokes, some other shit, and 5 lottery tickets, and try to pay with my debit card.  Lady almost screams at me "WHOA YOU HAVE TO PAY LOTTERY IN CASH, IT'S AGAINST THE LAW"!  I say "No, it isn't you can use your card as long as it's debit not credit".  She refuses to do the transaction, so I ask her to take the lottery tickets off the total.  She does.  When I pay for the remaining shit, I have the option for cash back, I select $5 and pay for the lottery tickets afterward, and ask " Do you understand how riciculous this transaction was"? She says "Whatever, if you don't like the law, shop somewheres else"  Dumb, cunty and ugly, how adorable.

pulled into KFC and asked for a fish snacker sandwich.  the cashier told me, "we ain't got no fish today."  So I responded that in that case I would like two please.  He repeated (with a hint of anger in his voice) that they aint got no fish.I asked him if he understood that by using a double negative he was actually saying the opposite of his intended message.  At that point I am pretty sure he called me a cracker.

dude just take the change. it's so much easier for us if you just give us the bills and let us count the change because we have it all sorted and we've been doing it all day. if you want to get rid of your change atleast have it ready before you pay.

Haha, I get this all the time at 7-11 too, but I've never been able to understand them when they tell me why I can't buy the ticket.

i hear what the first dude was saying... i'm terrible at math so when i worked at an FYE and someone would tell me "wait, i have 5 cents" to even out a total, or to even out the change they got back, i couldn't do it.  but i'd tell them point blank, i'm horrible at math and apologize.  it's annoying but when it happens to me, i understand.  in your case, the dude just needed to hand you back a 5 and shut the fuck up.  the register would've evened out anyway.

I hate Uppity Cashiers,  lets be real, I know you are 45 and  have been at the  Pathmark for 12 yrs, and  feel mighty Comfortable. You play by your own rules  and dont  take any guff from anyone.But lets face it,  you are ugly, you live in the shallow end of the Gene Pool.  You make less Money than 80 % of America.  You Rolling Your Beady  Eyes at someone who is more sucessfull than you in very unbecoming.   Just because the UPC code is scratched and you cant scan  the Poptarts,  doesnt give you an excuse to get Mad at us.   In conclusion, Uppity Cashiers are Cunts

what does being bad at math have to do with being a cashier. its not like you are doing algebra. There are a finate amount of combinations it can be. no matter what, there are 100 cents in a dollar.

I work in with cash registers on a daily basis and anyone can tell you it's not the mathemeticians who are taking the checkout clerk jobs. I always keep a calculator at the register if I type in the wrong change... it's much faster than figuring it out in my head.

I think everyone develops simple cheats at the register when they deal with money. If someone says "I'll give you the 46 cents" that means you round the dollar up, so the $4.54 change becomes a $5 bill (ez). if they give you 50 cents instead you round up and give the difference in change (4 cents). yes it seems simple but it was hard for me to rationalize when i first started the job but I got the hang of it. either the clerk running the register was new or a complete dumbass.

and things that don't scan? Well first of all most stores have thousands of items and often a few different UPCs per item. so how could anyone know what the price is? The old method of stickering the price of the product onto every single one is antiquated. so if the barcode is unscannable and the UPC is unreadable, then you may have to wait for a price. if the clerk can still read the upc, then slap them in the face and tell them to type it in.

You forget that simple addition and subtraction is good at math in florida.
