Good for you for paying attention, I wonder how many don't?

Hey, I'm a cashier!!
But, really, some days I don't want to think and do leave it to the register. I try and pay attention, though. I don't like guests to be ripped off.
I'm sure I'm not innocent, I've made mistakes. BUT they will have anyone cashier. My sweet little friend, straight from the Philipines, they had her cashiering. They had me shadow her and then keep an eye on her. She finally asked me, showing me the money, the dimes 'These are 1 cent?' and the quarters, with all of the different state designs, totally confused her!!
One cashier totally just let the screen do the talking and almost gave the guest back over $60 in change! I forget exactly what was the problem but their total was only about $10.
Well, GD, good for you!! That is your right, too bad that it happened, I think it makes everyone look bad when someone screws up so bad. I wonder why it happened? Did you look at your receipt? Any clues?
{oh, and I'm really not offended....I am one who would like to think I am good at math and money....some days though when things are hectic and too many guests going through, I'd rather not think.}
