Or those people who pay for their stuff but still haven’t packed a single thing, so you have to wait even longer while they pack everything.
The problem is the idiot cashiers that want to hand you the coins, bills, and receipts in one pile. Do they not know those go 3 different places?
They do it this way in Japan. The solution is simple: you take everything, move to the self-bagging area (most supermarkets are self-bagging), and do your sorting and tidying there.
Just a few tables to get things in order before leaving the store.
Is that not the standard way to hand them to a customer?
AFAIK it is.
Not really sure why people are putting away their money while still standing in line anyways. I just step out of the way and let the next person go while I put away my cash and stuff.
How am I supposed to do that? I need 2 hands to separate the coins, bills, and receipt, but then I don’t have a hand to carry what I bought.
I usually slide the bag down to my elbow to free up a hand or I just throw it all in one pocket and worry about it later.
I’ve had that happen before when I used to work at Arby’s.
First customer of my shift, and this monster pays for a regular roast beef sandwich entirely in pennies. It was roughly 450~ pennies. I was ready to murder.
I like to not give a shot and take my time. Sometimes it works and I’m relaxed. Other times I feel the pressure and I’m awkward. Some employes like to scan the items so fast that I hardly have time to pack them in the bag then they just stand there looking at me with this face while I clumsily finish packing and pay.
Fuck that. If they want to force us to pack our own shit they can bloody well wait. I take my time to pack nicely and then I walk back to the payment system and pay. Usually the next customer is already encroaching on the pay terminal so I push them back by invading their personal space. Ever since covid and pushing for reusable bags they force us to pack our own stuff, they can reep what they they sow.
That’s something you’ll lose with age and some self confidence, take your time, everyone else is taking yours too.
It’s because you paid in cash and everyone had to wait for the cashier to do what they do.
It had nothing to do with getting the money back in/on your person.
Exactly what it feels like. Had this happen once and the 5 people behind me were like “dude calm down we’re not gonna shoot you lol, take your time”. Which didn’t calm me down. At all. 😂
Idgaf what’s five seconds gonna waste you? I’m already done with my purchase.
Just take your change and step to the side. Allows the next person to continue checking out and gives you plenty of time to put away your change.
Nah, take as much time as possible, and also always avoid the self-checkout. Don’t play along with these corporations trying to eliminate jobs, give the cashiers job security by asking lots of questions and taking your sweet ass time at the register. If you have to do self-checkout because there’s no open cashiers, always ask for assistance from the nearest attendant.
Hey, man. At least you’re not paying with a check.
