Does anyone prefer to get their change back in a bill-hammock? You know when the person at the register piles the change onto the bills and holds the bill by the two short edges?

I'd like everyone to give me my change separately from my bills, either before or afterwards. First thing I do with the hammock is pour off the coins anyway.

right. what happened to giving you the change in the palm of your hand first, then allowing you to grasp the bills with your fingers. or better yet, waiting for you to put the change away and THEN giving you the bills.

Hate the hammock. Change first, then the bills. Also, don't rush me out the door before I've properly put my coins and cash away, please.

I hate this because the coins always slip off and end up on the floor. The less I have to bend down these days, the better.

I'm further into The OC season 1 discs. The Anna/Oliver eps were so excruciating. I'm glad I didn't tune in for those or I'd never have stayed. Good laws!

Change first, then bills. Definitely. When I worked at the grocery store, I actually had more than one customer thank me for giving them their change in that order.

Yaeh, I'm happy to step away from the register while I get my money together, but that's way easier with coins first.

ION, someone just said to the dean's assistant, "We're from the government, and we're here to help," and she didn't laugh.

When I worked retail, I was trained to count the change back, so starting with the coins was the only thing you could do. It is very sensible.

I HATE the bill hammock.

I also hate people who stand by the card slider/cart area and rearrange their pocketbook completely, tidying their hair and itemizing tax deductions after they are rung out, preventing me from moving my cart forward and filling it and/or sliding my card.

It isn't so much that I have big important places to be and my time is infinitely more valuable or anything. @@

I think what sets me off is the blatant lack of awareness that someone other than themselves exists. Or at least, that's how I interpret it. I apparently like being hacked over that issue so I probably see it more than it actually exists.

I hear what you're saying, sarameg. The thing I hate is when I'm handed bags, a receipt, bills, and coins and there's some ass behind me who won't let me have 1 second to put some stuff away. Sometimes the ass is behind the counter.
