who has this thread helped you cross off your friend list? i must know

Nobody. I have a forgiving nature.

[remingtonbo2001]

If nothing else, it provoked an interesting conversation and gave me a much clearer understanding of who my real friends are.

So you're saying you used the observation to create conversation in order to pass the time.

I actually didn't realize the comment would generate so much buzz.
Must be a slow day for everyone.

Wow did I say that?

I guess I should have worded it differently..........

what did you mean then? you let angel off the hook because she doesn't have kids and, therefore, couldn't fully understand the situation.

Well, if counting to 100 is that stressful and inconvenient, you can always count out 10 stacks of 10.

Oooh I know that!! It's called "regrouping"!!!!

Did you scratch me off your friends list in pen or pencil, or was your pencil broken and not worth the trouble to sharpen it?

I'm an accountant, what can I say? I love the feel of money in my hands, indiscriminate of denomination.

I'm self employed, and I too love the feel of money in my hands, even when it's not in my hands (PayPal) or when it's a bunch of one dollar bills (that's happened many times to me).

[MannyIsGod]

So you're a cashier and you don't like counting money? Cry me a ing river...

I know it sucks to have to count 112.00 in ones while being paid 6.00 an hour, but that's life honey (well YOUR life)...

If you were any good at Customer Service you would have smiled at the child, told them hey, that's a lot of money you have there, and gladly counted his/her money and returned the change, but apparently you suck at Customer Service, and LIFE...

I know its wrong, but this damn post cracked me up pretty hard.

But just imagine how grueling your day would have been without this poor kid dumping all his hard earned money on you, in turn giving you the opportunity to start this thread!! I'd say that kid who made you so unhappy, in the end was a blessing!!

So Catholic money's good here?

I had a client pay me once with 225 twenty dollar bills.

EHJ is an accountant, too.

Ok, the most ironic thing about this is that Angel started off complaining that he shoudl consolidate the 112 bills then use the money to purchase something. Then she tells us HE WAS CONSOLIDATING his money - he was buying a giftcard.

Man, this doesn't come down to understanding kids or anything else. This comes down to Angel wanting someone else to get the end of the stick (in this case counting the bills).

[gatoloco]

the poor child may have been blind and needed to count out the ones like ray charles...

Question:

Had the child been Slovenian would we be having this discussion?

Cashiers are so incredibly spoiled today. Some of us had to ring items up manually, memorize everything that was on sale in the ad, and create credit card purchases on that old machine that made the carbons. To gripe when you are a CASHIER about having to count out CASH seems pretty ironic. You do accept cash at you place of employment- right? It can be change, or ones, or 20's. All forms are accepted. I actually have emptied out my change compartment in my car and paid in change or small bills, and stores have said that they were happy because then they did not have to go get change.

It just feels unprofessional and not courteous to me to hand someone a stack of cash to count, when it can be avoided.

You only wanted it avoided for you by saying they should have taken it somewhere else to make someone else do it. To complain that it was inconvenient for you but think a bank teller should have had to do it seems awfully self-important. Also, where di you get some notion that a customer, especially a child, has to act in a "professional" manner. This was not some transaction of a professional nature. It was someone buying something at the mall.

Even worse, though, is the tendency to pass judgement on what this person was doing as this child's parent when you have no experience as a parent yourself.

[MannyIsGod]

Angel - you're probably going to now.

The ones are because mommy is a stripper.

I'm with B2B I'm going with the stripper theory

If it was Rasho she would have counted 112.00 in PENNIES, GLADLY...

I know its wrong, but this damn post cracked me up pretty hard.

I'm glad you got that right, it was supposed to be a George Carlin like rant, some people took it a little too seriously...

[PM5K]

I think Angel is just mad because that kids mom maid 112.00 dancing last night and she didn't...
