On another thread I related my early days as a cashier, and how my cash register *always* balanced because I *always* counted back my change.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight.


Today I was handed an odd amount of cash. You know how it is, you fish out some coins that you hope will keep you from getting even more coins back in change?

I rang up the sale, entered the amount of cash tendered, and fished the change out of the cash drawer. Then I stared at the change, and stared, and then stared some more.

I couldn't for the life of me count it back. [Eek!]

It was something like "So that's $3.63, .64, .65, .66 (ok, that's the pennies taken care of), and ummmm errrrrr (what the heck do I do with the nickle and the quarter??????????).

Finally the customer and I just gave up, laughed, and decided to accept that the cash register was right.

Anybody got some salt for this hunk of crow I'm having for supper [Confused]
