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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
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.

Yeah, that annoys me too. I give pass for the initial fumble. It's just the dawdlers who are doing SO MUCH MORE that get me. Stuff it and run, people!

This is why I step to the side! So simple. I can then neurotically re-order my money, and the next person can get to the register.

Or the people who pull their carts after them into the register line, empty the cart, pay for the stuff--and leave the cart in the aisle as they stroll away!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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 think this is to limit hand contact with customers, and (presumably) cut down on germ transfer.
