> Question. How many Rinkies actually
learned this handy cashier's-change method
in school? I certainly didn't. How about the
cashier's etiquette of placing the coins in the
client's hand first, then handing over the paper
bills? (Doing it the other way will make the
coins slide off the bill and drop on the floor).

Hey, don't get me started. I wish cashiers here
in the USA would learn this etiquette. It seems
like most places I go, whether it's a
supermarket or a fast food drive-through, they
always give me my change all at once, bills
and coins together. Usually with the receipt
thrown in for bad measure. I hate this,
because then I have to sit/stand/idle there for
another minute while I sort out my change,
putting the coins in a pocket, the bills in their
wallet sleeve, and the receipt in the other
wallet sleeve.

Sometimes I actually do this. Most of the time,
I just stuff it all into a pocket or throw it on the
dashboard to sort out later. It's quite
frustrating.
