Today, I felt like doing a good deed, so when I bought something at a store I told the cashier to keep the change. The cashier then panicked and said, “What do I do???” Turns out, I was her first ever customer. FML

Today, I was at work when a customer, who was going to pay for her groceries, started sorting through her money. She put some coins in her mouth, seemed to suck on them for a while, and then gave them to me. FML
Today, I helped a lady carry her grocery bags to her car. She was so grateful that she offered me a tip. I refused, but she insisted. When I finally took it, I looked at the bill to see she'd given me $1. I smiled and said thank you, but she looked at me like I’d just robbed her. FML
Today, I was checking out a customer who seemed quite friendly. As I finished, he reached slightly over the counter and I impulsively reached out and shook his hand. He gave me a dumbfounded look and said, "Can I have my change please?" FML
Today, I was working at my job as cashier. This really attractive girl who often comes in walked in, so I mustered up the courage to ask her out by writing my number on a dollar bill. She paid and the amount her change happened to be a dollar. I go to hand her the money when she sees it and says, "Keep the change!" FML
Today, I was shopping at the grocery market and was next in line. Behind me was a woman who only had two items, so I nicely let her in front of me, as it looked like she was in a hurry. When she was all rung up, she decided to pay her $16.45 in loose change which needed to be counted out. FML
Today, I bought flowers with my groceries at the grocery store. After the cashier scanned them, he handed them back to me so they wouldn't get crushed in my cart. It was then that I realized he's the first man to ever hand me flowers. FML
Today, I was cashiering, and a customer's change came to $5.51. She looked pretty stinking rich, so I just gave her $5.50. She demanded the extra penny, and I asked if she really needed it. She said, "No, but they do, asshole," and dropped her $5.51 in the charity donation box. FML
Today, I’m a cashier and I put a lady’s change on the counter instead of in her hand. She then hissed at me for being rude. When I explained to her that I have never heard that it’s rude to do that, her response was, "Are you kidding me!? You should have been BORN knowing that!" FML
Today, a woman came up to my cash register, where I was struggling with the cash, and asked if we took cash. FML
Today, I fistbumped a cashier as they tried to hand me my change. FML

Cashier's aren't allowed to keep the change. That would be considered stealing

A lot of stores won’t let the cashiers keep the change and if they do, they could be fired. Might not want to do that again.

So then you got to teach her how to receive good deeds/small gifts from customers. Well done!

That is tipping. Most businesses that do not have tipped employees are not set up to report tips, which is required by tax law. And businesses that do have tipped employees usually do not consider cashiers as a tipped employee, which means that they are not be paid at a tipped employee wage.

That's super awkward. Hopefully there was a donation jar or something the could toss it into.

I don't see the problem. Somebody had to be her first customer; turned out it was you.

That's just Gen Z losing their shit over trivial matters. All she had to do was calculate the difference, take it out of the till, and just give to someone else. It's not the end of the world. Relax. lol
