I want to see them multiply a 7 digit number by a 4 digit number.

I’m pretty sure the only place they ever counted change back is in the minds of those who choose to recall it as if it were everywhere. I’m sure a few cashiers did it and it was more common in the past but to think that money handling was somehow better is wrong.

My first real job 100 years ago was in a gas station. Counting back change was mandatory and I had to learn how to do it. It does seem that it was more common in the past. I still see it occasionally.

Even though I watch, we always check our receipts and a little over 20% have extra items on them, where something was scanned more than once. The cashiers slip a lot through when you are putting groceries on the belt or bagging. I don't think it's intentional, just incompetence

Most of the time it's easier to do self checkout and not deal with idiots.
