Siri took all the 10's out of the deck and replied "zero."

Did they prefix the question with "OK Google"?
May the cards fall in your favor.

Handed a cashier 10.56 on a $6.56 order within the last week and the cashier and he was confused enough he literally had to get another employee to help him out…..didn’t appear to have a disability or under the influence.

I've given up on doing that with young cashiers as it seems to cause more confusion than it is worth. I guess they no longer teach it in Cashiers School. I can't think of the last time I saw anyone under sixty trying to give exact change, and it does seem to slow the transaction rather than speed it up.
I used to save my change but now I simply give it to the next panhandler I see that doesn't irritate me.

A teen aged boy did some work for me and I paid him in cash; part of the payment was a two dollar bill.
As I handed it to him he got a baffled look and holding the two dollar bill he asked me "Is this Canadian?"

The cashiers at my local grocery store seemed to be knowledgeable in proper change counting but I have noticed that problem at other retail stores. The thing that irritates me more than that is if I give someone a $20 and they give me change for 10, Truth be told, I’m usually not paying close attention either until I get back the wrong change. Then I’m not even sure what I gave them. One of us should be paying better attention I guess. : }

The store had a sign saying they were looking for $1 and $5 bills.
I handed a cashier $21 for an $11 purchase. She looked at me funny, proceeded to hand me ten one-dollar bills, and called out to the manager that she needed singles.

The reason he asked Siri what 5 x 8 was, was because I asked if he worked full time. He then did some counting and realized he worked eight hours a day, and knowing he worked five days a week, was trying to figure how many hours a week he worked. When Siri handed him the answer of 40, he said, "I think that's full-time, right?" (He's a salesperson on the floor of an outdoor + sporting goods store.)

All cash registers have the ability to enter cash tendered and have the machine calculate the change for you. But I doubt even the managers know that anymore.
I have also given a few coins here and there to try and get the change to just quarters, or something like that. They are almost always thoroughly confused.

About 30 years ago I paid for something with a credit card, and the swiper wasn't working, so the cashier had to enter the card data manually. It was one of those rare cards that had a three-piece expiration date, 3/19/1995, but the terminal wanted only the month and year. She told me the card wasn't working, so I checked her screen and saw she'd entered the expiry month as "19".
