I’m very embarrassed and ashamed to say this but I never learned how to count change. I’m almost 17 and I am trying to get my first job. The one I want requires me to do cash transactions so I’m trying to learn before I apply. This really helped. Thank you for this.

@FrankMLoSchiavo 7 лет назад

I recommend that you get some spare change and bills, and practice with your family and friends. Use the count back method to ensure you're giving back the right change. If you practice, you'll figure it out pretty quickly. You can do it! And when you get that job, you'll be glad you put in the extra time.

@higherlearning99 6 лет назад

There's a method where you can count up from the cents. Let's say something is $12.95 and someone gives you $20, all you do is figure out how you can make a dollar from the 95 cents. 5 plus 5 gives you 10, while you are left with the carrier of 1. 9 plus zero is 9, add the carrier to it and it makes a whole dollar. Which means you will give 5 cents back. That gives you $13, then to make it to 20 you would just add a five dollar bill for $15, then 5 one dollar bills to finish off. I learned from a video, if you're confused check it out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OYMw96NPy0w.html

All the pressure from costumers coming non-stop makes me just forget how to even count sometimes 😞 to make matters worse my company does not have a register that will do the work for us! I'm not sure I have what it takes for this job

@FrankMLoSchiavo 5 лет назад

I can definitely understand the pressure you feel from customers impatiently waiting in line. I think practice helps in this situation. The more you practice making change, the more confident you'll become. If the cash registers don't compute change, which is very odd, then be sure to have a calculator close by. We all get confused, and we all feel pressure. But the math is relatively simple, particularly for a calculator. So, take a deep breath, relax, take your time regardless of a customer's impatience, and check yourself using a calculator to make sure you're giving the correct change. You can do it.

@naeemqureshi5819 2 года назад

I'm 51 and I never learned how to do this. I've managed a 7-Eleven for 12 years now and thank GOD our registers tell us the change. I have to count from dollars to coins, but I rarely give back wrong change. I may miss a coin or pull the wrong one, but customers don't really care as long as it's not the dollars. I really don't understand why corporations, such as our competitor, cannot provide registers to assist cashiers with change. All they are doing is limiting their hiring pool and giving cashiers anxiety, especially when busy or dealing with a difficulty situation. I mean, don't we have enough anxiety to deal with already? Anyway, I thought about applying for manager position at QT, but that alone will disqualify me. Their loss. I run a 7-Eleven like a champ!

If you're using cash and you can't pay the exact amount, then you always need to pay more than the total bill.

I’m a cashier at my Walmart but I’m scared bc my first day is in 2 days and idk how to count change in case someone gives me money instead of a card

@FrankMLoSchiavo 2 года назад

Congratulations on your new job! Over the next few days, watch some videos about making change, and practice at home with some real money. Create a few realistic situations. For example, assume that the total bill is $4.75, but that your customer gives you a $10 bill. Practice making change. Then assume the bill is $2.37, but that the customer gives you $5.50. Practice making change, and then check with a calculator to make sure you're right. Remember, the cash register will calculate the change for you, so it will be pretty easy when using it. Just be careful to key in all the numbers right. If you do, the cash register will give you the correct answer every time! That said, practice making change in your head. It's best if you can rely on yourself. Good luck!

hey sir I just watched this and it does help alot ! But one day in the future, can you do more with odd change, like with a few examples: .. say if a customers total is $32.37 and they give me $37.37 ? You know? Or for example their total is $11.21 and they give me like some weird $16.36 . I would love love love a video for that stuff . I work at quiktrip and people always mess me up with odd stuff like that bc the registers don’t tell us the change. Thanks in advance if you have the time to do it.

@FrankMLoSchiavo 5 лет назад

I'm glad the video helped you! Yes, I'd like to make some additional videos in the future with more examples of making change. It sucks that the registers where you work don't compute the change! That's not very helpful. When someone gives you an odd amount of money, consider using a calculator to make sure you get the change right. There's no shame in that. It's much better to get the change right than to be unsure of yourself and get the change wrong (and potentially lose your job). Good luck!

@leslypalomar-cruz2057 2 года назад

I get confused after I give them what they're owed. Like I'll charge them 12.28 they pay with 20$. It will be 7.72 in change correct then they'll give me 25 cents once I closed the register. So then will the correct amount in the end will be? How do I solve it?

@FrankMLoSchiavo 2 года назад

If you've closed the register already, the transaction is done. Many cashiers can't open their register after that, so it would be very rude for a customer to "renegotiate" the change AFTER you've given them back change already. However, let's say you still have the register open, and your customer wants to add extra change. In the case you mentioned above, it's more likely that the customer would say, "Wait, I have 28 cents," because that would bring the change you owe the customer up to an even $8.00. But in every and all cases, all you'd need to do is add the extra payment to the original change you owed the customer. So, in the case I described, you'd owe the customer $7.72 + the 28 cents paid extra, which equals $8.00 in total.

You definitely don't want to give back the wrong change. The good news is that your cash register will tell you how much change to give back, and if you get confused at some point, you can always use the calculator on your phone. It's better to take a few extra moments and get it right than rush through it and get it wrong. Good luck!

@TickleMeElmo55 5 месяцев назад

For change, you don't even have to do that much mental math. For example, for the $5 tendered and $1.03 that is owed, just make that #1.03 add up to a dollar. In this way you're adding, not subtracting where there's a higher chance of a mistake occurring. Only subtraction occurs IF that dollar bill is given with cents.

@FrankMLoSchiavo 5 месяцев назад

@Junior_blessed 5 лет назад

I suck at counting. And ima be a cashier at McDonald’s. Does the machine/register tell you how much do u need to give back or do you just have to count? Plz respond.

@FrankMLoSchiavo 5 лет назад

The cash register will show the amount of change you need to give back. That said, you still should know how to make change without the register, because there are many situations where the register will mislead you. For example, if the customer owes $3 and pays with a $5 bill, at some point you will type in $50.00 instead of $5.00 and the register will tell you to give $47.00 in change instead of $2.00, which is the correct amount. If you type something incorrect into the register, you'll need to know how to recover and make the correct change. That's just one of many examples in which you need to be able to make change on your own, even when using a register. Good luck at McD's!

@FrankMLoSchiavo 5 лет назад

That can DEFINITELY be confusing, and honestly, it's rude for the customer to do that to you. But people do it all the time. I think you have at least 2 good options. The first is to just give them the change based on them paying $20. You can say something like, "I'm sorry, but I've already keyed in $20 and if my drawer comes up short, I'll get fired." The customer should let you off the hook. The second option is to simply put all the change your originally started counting back in your drawer, and then start counting it back from scratch, based on the new amount they paid, $20.50. And don't forget that you can always pull out a calculator (or the calculator on your phone) if you want to double-check and ensure that you're giving back the correct amount.

@@mvlaa.6171 Not everyone can count coins (or other things of value) in their heads, so using a calculator is fine. It's better to get the answer right than to be embarrassed about needing a calculator's help. That said, you can get better at counting coins and making change with practice. I recommend that you get some bills and some coins together, and then go through several scenarios where you need to pay a bill and then make change in return. If you walk through it many, many times at home, you'll be much better at it when you're at a store. With practice, we can get better at almost anything. Good luck!

It's all about practice. You CAN be competent with money if you put in enough time. The good news is that it's easy to practice. Grab some bills and plenty of change and practice lots and lots of money transactions with your parents, your siblings, your friends, whoever is willing. Over time, you'll learn the basic strategies, and you'll become more comfortable. Try to practice with someone who's good at it, so they can help you when you struggle. Trust me, you CAN do it.

You have plenty of time to practice between now and Saturday, so consider spending some time transacting money with someone, or even by yourself.

@FrankMLoSchiavo 3 года назад

I hear lots of people say that. Not everyone can be a math genius (I'm not), but almost everyone has the necessary math skill to be a good cashier. I think the key is to practice, keeping in mind that you can practice at home. Just pretend someone has a bill and that they're paying it with cash. From there, practice making the correct change. And, be sure you know how to use the cash register, because it's common to hit the wrong buttons. That's no big deal as long as you know what to do after hitting the wrong buttons. Ask for training. Ask your supervisor to show you how to do everything, and then ask lots of questions a long the way. Good luck!
