I want to know who it is that teaches cashiers in training to hand the customer the bills and receipt, then pile the change on top of it all leaving the customer to find himself in this weird balance and sort multitask/agility exercise.

How many times have you dropped your change? How embarrassing is it to be standing there in the way separating your bills and putting them in your wallet and putting the receipt in the sack and putting the change in your pocket or purse? Who the hell came up with this procedure?

 If someone asked me to think up the stupidest way to hand a person three ones, a five, a receipt, and sixty eight cents I honestly don't think I could come up with anything more retarded than our current cashier to customer change and receipt transfer system.

Listen, any cashiers or managers that train cashiers, hand the customer the change first, they will drop it in their pocket/purse, and you then put the receipt in the top and most easily accessible sack in the buggy. Now hand the customer the bills and they can put them in their wallet/purse and walk away, keeping the line flowing and avoiding any embarrassing clumsiness. 

 Why is this so difficult? Who screwed this up? They should be beaten with a partially frozen carp.
