To be fair, he'd be less anxious if he'd just hurry up and put the damned change away and GET OUT OF EVERYONE ELSE'S WAY!
pontoonofshame
I just slide over to the side of the counter
imnotinprisonhidingaphoneinmybutt
I don't remember making this account or posting this. Weird.
pre1989
Oh my god so true ...You can just feel them judging and watching you ..Crap now I am shaking ..Dam you
Luckfylanduck
Can you imagine being on the opposite side? Fucking Agnes in speedy checkout with way too many items then pulls out the good damn checkbook.
Persephone407
Online shopping has lessened my anxiety over this. But now I have a lot more people to worry about seeing me embarrassing myself
ooglecat
I have weird anxiety about using the toilet at people's houses bcause I'm afraid they'll be like 'oh btw, our plumbing is broken' post-flush
Lightslinger42
Opening biscuit cans... *shudder*
Dominian
I paid 12.64 in change today. I'd never do that to a line of people. It's common decency.
ndmaster
People called 10-click Shawty???

Shigbeard
Doing the dishes gives me anxiety.
ExploratoryDentalSurgery
Back when Pepperidge Farms Remembers the cashier used to hand you your change then put the receipt in the bag. No time-wasting juggling act
HeywouldJablowme
I have a pair of shorts with velcro on the back pocket, getting my wallet in there with stuff in my hands is fucking aggravating
Lulabel73
It’s even worse at ALDI. You’ve got to pack your bags and handle the change.
cupcakegrenade
I take that moment to acknowledge and thank the bagger and move slightlt forward out of the immediate paying zone toward the change machine
Lulabel73
But we don’t have baggers in my country!
VieAnna
Supermarkets in Germany would give you PTSD on a regular basis then....
Gorillazfan21
Every damn time
Technohawk
Just did that a couple hours ago. Sigh.
gvair
Or use your debitcard. Almost never use cash anymore.
raknor88
It's even worse at the drive thru when you get your money, drink, and food all at once.
lostt
Your title struck a nerve +1
zochRot
When im at a party and there isnt enough pizza for everybody...yes i get pizza anxiety
SunBrolem
I just walk ten feet and then fuck with my wallet.

Thats my anxiety!
Shenaniganz80
We are not alone
VinerialBlumpkin11
Just use a credit or debit card...

ONE OF US. ONE OF US
xbolt
What gives me anxiety? Yes
askaglassofwater
Yeah, it starts at "thinking about leaving the house", and it's pretty much everything from that point on :(
Dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirepus
I’m and both sad and glad I am not alone.
Cosbypillpopin
I get anxiety when there is something I could do today but it totally depends on someone else for me to do it but they are always busy.
LucifersDuckling
I get that
malachilenomade
My favorite is when people in line decide they have to stand DIRECTLY BESIDE YOU even though you're supposed to wait at the line indicated.
CrazyCatLad
What country? There are lines for the register but no 'Wait Her'" lines on the floors in every store I've been in in the US.
personalspaceinvaderspiff
im in US and seeing it become more popular at gas station/convenience stores.
malachilenomade
US. Signs indicating "Please Wait Here" in a convenience store chain where I live. People just ignore it & stand close enough they could 1/
malachilenomade
pinch my wallet (if I used one) or butt (if they wanted to) & barely move their arm to do so. I don't need them literally breathing down 2/
malachilenomade
my neck while I'm trying to complete a transaction.
CrazyCatLad
Oh I know what you're talking about. At Barnes and Noble or TJ Maxx or Kohls, they have a single line and then a row of cashiers. >>
InfocalypseRising
Why do they do that awkward "put the change on top of the bills and hand the whole wad over" thing? Hand over bills, THEN change
Magnivore
That still puts the change on top of the bills.
thedarkcanuck
They do this because your anxiety sustains them
mop82
As someone who just takes the whole thing, shoves it in my pocket, then sorts it out later, I prefer it that way.
NietMenno
I personally do this because I want you to grab your money and items en move away cause I have other customers to deal with
sometimescash
This.
DalaiLlama

!!!
ZirconiumSmile
As a cashier, I fully support this message. It’s awkward for us too!
ZirconiumSmile
At least separately, whichever order!
30Jonseredi
No no no. You hand over change first and then all paper-like stuff. That way the change safely stays in your palm while you put bills in
mvfx
YASS

I like hand over change (you have a whole free hand) THEN bills / reciept because you can pinch them with fingers.
MadHakon
Because some customers in retail are nightmares who we secretly suspect might go batshit crazy thinking we are trying to short them 1/2
MadHakon
money if we don't hand it all over right away. "I wanna speak to your manager. You're a thief!" 2/2
chaoticneutralaveragejoe
Cause its faster and the change stays with the bills just move out of line and get your shit together!
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
I do this. I hand over the bills first, get change, then hand that over. I despise the change-on-bills method.
30Jonseredi
There's a better solution: give change first and then bills. That way change is safely on their palm and bills on their fingers
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
True. Trying to re-train myself to do it that way w/o thinking.
AwkwardKeming
Just crumple it all together with the receipt and drop it in the bag. I'll figure it out later.
InfocalypseRising
Chaotic neutral
JHawke
Keep hand in slight bowl form, accept all the money, rotate hand slightly, end up with bill between fingers and change in the bowl.
BMONoir
Look. I'm sorry but change first, bills second.
Hoodra
And this is why they just hand all of it over at once.
InfocalypseRising
Okay, yeah, that does make more sense. "Not all at once" was the main point though
ThatWelshIdiot
I'm a cashier in a very busy store. I do that because it's extremely busy and I want you to leave asap. You can walk and put your change in.
sometimescash
I hope nothing bad ever happens to you.. you just bought yourself a curse.
ThatWelshIdiot
It's a moment of awkwardness for you, but if my queue is slow then I get legitimately badmouthed by customers in line.
FrozenWaterIsCool
Speeding through customers isn't gonna work either, since the previous two need time to pack their stuff first anyway.
lucyintheskywithgems
As a cashier I hand over change then bills and wait till they're on their way to help the next customer
IDemandYourNudesInMyInbox
As a cashier, I always give paper money, bills and in top of it all the coins. Helps me deal with assholes
IRideUponAPaleHorse
That's why you are my favorite cashier

tflorio19500
And the framers of the constitution
IaskTheToughQuestions
If I were a cashier, I'd run 2 registers at once and dump all the change on the counter and tell each person how much they get from the pot.
Nalianna
I do run two registers at once. Customers are so damn slow. How can it take more than 30 seconds to find your EFTPOS card?
NootBoii
Or "I have the reward card in my phone gimme a second" and they procced to struggle with their phone for a minute
IaskTheToughQuestions
I'd then scream: next 2 in line and say softly, if you two could sort that out outside please, more people are waiting to buy shit.
Effbeei
Imagine the chaos
