I hate my job.

Is there anything worse than having to listen to/watch a manish woman talk on the phone all day?

Edit: It's because her voice is annoying as hell and she talks with her hands.

I watch home shopping 8 hours a day. Your move.

Re: TRP: Changing Conferences Since 1999

This afternoon, a coworker and I went out to a deli to pick up lunch. My total was $10.29. I only had 20s in my wallet and change in my pocket. I owed my coworker $10 because he picked up my lunch yesterday, so I gave the cashier $20.35 rather than get back $9 in bills and a handful of change. When the cashier gave me my change, she gave me a five and five singles, even though I could see she had tens in her drawer. I asked her if I could have a ten instead of the five and the singles (so that I could pay my coworker back with one bill instead of six), and she refused, saying she didn't have enough tens in her drawer to give me one. Can anyone explain the logic there? Isn't the purpose of having a cash drawer to give customers change? And, for that matter, given that she needs to give customers change, aren't the singles and fives more useful to her? It's been a long time since I worked in retail, but I can't remember any reason why I would've refused to make change in this manner.

she wanted a tip?

Well, denying a customer a $10 bill not the wisest way to go about doing it.

When I did cashier work back in my high school days, I was instructed to always give back the change in as few bills as possible unless otherwise requested.

I did, however, run into a kid who was in training when cashing me out a couple years ago, and his trainer was there behind him. He handed me back six pennies to me when he had plenty of nickels. His trainer asks him why he's doing that and his reply was, "This way, when I cash out in an hour, I'll have less stuff to count." He said it with one of those * eating grins on his face. His trainer immediately apologized to me and pretty much told the kid that he's not to pull that stunt ever again. So I think you got one of those people.

Who gives six pennies? I'd have jumped across the counter and choked him on principle. (not really)

This. UNLESS you are in the restaurant/bar business. Then if you have 10 bucks in change coming, it's a 5 and five 1s, for tipping purposes. The customer then has more options and doesn't have to put away a 10 dollar bill, and fish for a couple 1s.

Absolutely; if this was the situation at a bar, I would've expected a 5 and five 1s.
