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

Today, a buttmunch customer brought in $7 worth of pennies I had to count and roll. As I was putting them in the deposite box at the end of my shift, I fumbled and dropped the rolls. All but one broke, spilling their contents on the floor. FML

Today, I rang up a customer’s items. The total came out to $24.67. She handed me a bag full of coins and looked at me expectantly. I asked if she had any other payment methods; she got irritated and said ,“If I did, I wouldn’t have given you this, stupid!” I had to count them. She was still 6 dollars short. FML
Today, I was just about done with my late-night shift at Ralph's. As I was about to put up my "Closed Lane" sign, an elderly women starts putting items on the conveyor belt. The cost was $14.79, and she paid with pennies. It took her ages to count them all, and I wasn't being paid overtime. FML

Today, I spent twenty minutes helping an elderly man figure out how to use the self-checkout. When we'd finished, he smiled, thanked me, then walked away… without paying for any of his groceries. The cashier assumed I was with him. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

You are a cashier. Cashiers count change. Sometime, people want to get rid of their change and use it to buy goods and services. F your life, really? If you didn't want to count coins, maybe you shouldn't be a cashier, jesus.

I thought it was common knowledge that a roll of quarters is worth ten dollars... As a cashier you should have known right off the bat that he would be short.

uhm, how could he be 50p short if a roll of quarters is worth ten pounds? plus you said he gave you 5 pounds in nickles and dimes, so isn't that 15 quid total?

I am currently head cashier at a brand new grocery store. I have had to count out $25 in change in the middle of a Saturday afternoon, after a short time working behind a register you should be able to count change quickly and accurately. OP should suck it up. Welcome to the industry.
