Today, I had an elderly man come to my cash register. His total came to $15.50 He handed me $5 in nickels and dimes. A full roll of quarters. Before I could take the roll, he bust it open, making me count it. After that was all counted he was 50 cents short. So he handed me a $10 bill. FML

It's the little old ladies in front of me at the checkout counting exact change at a rate of 1 coin / 2 seconds that make me want to strangle them.

$10 in quarters= 40 coins. At best $5 in dimes and nickels= 51 coins(49 dimes and two nickels) 40+51=91. Great math skills genius.

As a former cashier, I can personally sympathize with this FML. This is the epitome of the crap that cashiers go through on a daily basis. Being a cashier in many ways made me hate humanity, therefore I had to quit to keep my sanity.

Yea it's instances such as the OP's, that make me so thankful for my new job... I'm still trying to repress the memories of five years in retail...

I hope you took the £10 bill and gave him his change back in said nickels. And then every time you had a handful of his change you just dropped it all on the ground!

Fail #27 of the day: The OP is american and they even said in the FML that it was $10 not £10... :l

I thought he was going to ask you to reach into his pocket to help him find his "other" roll of quarters.
