Im a new cashier at CVS - in what order should I give customers their change? -

This has been a bit of a grey area for me... I was never properly taught how to give change back to customers, seeing as how there is no perfect method. I ve been working at CVS for about a month now (16 year old s first job!) and what i ve been doing is putting the bills (if any) on top of the receipt, handing it to them, and then giving them coins. How do most people prefer their change? Coins first, bills 2nd and receipt 3rd? Help!

I like my coins first, so they can rest in the palm of my hand. Then my bills next so that I can grip them with my fingers. And then the receipt last, on top of the bills. I always think of being handed the receipts as the way to show that our business deal has concluded. If someone gave me the receipt before the bills, I might think that they were going to forget to give me the bills. Some people might prefer your method of having the bills before the coins because then the bills are more secure in their hand. However, when this happens to me A.) I usually drop the coins and B). It makes it makes it harder to double check that my change is correct ( I can t shuffle through the bills as easily). Which I like to do. Not so much because I worry I will be given the wrong change, but because I ve worked as a cashier and I know it sucks to have a short drawer at the end of the shift.

Use 2 hands. Put the receipt on top of any bills, then with the other hand, give them change at the same time on top of the bills receipt.Then wonder why CVS lacks in customer service, as you ring, answer phones, unlock cases, check in vendors, help those that just cannot find anything, do photo, put away shopbacks, all at the same time, and do it with a smile knowing that whopping 2% per year increase is waiting for you in 11 short months.

Please do not do not dump the coins on top of the dollars. what am I supposed to do with this bundel? I can hold up your line while I slide my coins back down onto your counter in order to put my dollars away, and then pick my coins back to put them away...You are wonderful for asking! I would like coins first, please. Then bills and receipt on top of that. Have a little star.

Coins first, then notes. Mostly because its easier to put back into my purse. I prefer my receipt in the bag.

sounds like youre doing it the way most prefer. receipt (unless they want it in the bag), bills, coins

1) Put the bill(s) they gave you on TOP of the keypad, so it stays OUTSIDE the drawer. Count it one more time to make sure the bills didn t stick. Then repeat verbally, Out of $20 or whatever the amount they paid. This is so they can t say they handed you a $20 when they actually handed you a $10. 2) enter the amount paid into register, drawer pops open3) Take out the change, from largest to smallest, INCLUDING coins, one hand to pull, put into the other hand. Count it again mentally against your receipt / screen s change amount. 4) That hand then rips the receipt, put it into the other hand5) Hand over the whole bundle with one hand, the other hand to protect the bills on the register in case they try a grab-and-run . 6) Wait a few seconds, after the customer is satisfied and walks away from the spot. This is where they d argue, count change, and etc., time of no return . 7) Put their bill into the appropriate drawer slot and close the drawer. ---Kasey C, PC guru since Apple II daysI used to have a handle on life, then it broke.

How to return assorted canned goods without a receipt? -

I m kind of in a dilemma here. My friends and I decided to run our own canned food drive for the people in our community who need help around Thanksgiving time. Needless to say, we were given hundreds and hundreds of assorted canned goods. Lots of pumpkin pie mix, lots of cranberries, lots of canned hams, and so on. People actually thought we were a real charity group with the awesome professional looking banner one of my friends made. The problem is, we don t know the person to give all this food to. I m guessing that they wouldn t be able to eat all of this stuff in 3-4 years. Should we give it to an overweight poor person, being that the said food would be less likely to expire, or should we give it to a skinny person as it would appear they need it more. The other option is to simply return all the food we got to a few stores. The current consensus is that we will return it. I ve never returned anything without a receipt, what are the stores going to do when we go to return canned goods without a receipt?

Give it to your local food bank, for heaven s sake! There must be one in your town -- if you don t know where it is or who to contact, ask your priest or minister. Or call the Salvation Army in your town and ask them where you can deliver the food.You probably won t be able to return it to the store. Even if you could, what would you do then? Would you hunt down all the people who donated to you and give them back their money? Just do the right thing and make sure the food gets where it belongs -- to the hungry.

IF you can t find a food bank, most owns have one. Leave i at a church or social service office. Most groceries stores will only let you exchange the food, so you should give it to some oe that actually can use it, you ll really make a familysthanksgiving and chirstmas nice.

Yard Sale Question?? -

How should I set up these items. I have 3 big tables2 comfortersvarious sheetsCD sAlso how much would you charge for Hollister and Abercrombie tees??Anymore advice for a yard sale. Thanks! 10pts best answer

Put the CD s in a bucket on a table and lean the matress against a walll and put the sheets close t othe matress. The t s should be like $5-$10

We just had a big moving sale a month ago. The king size comforter sets were put on the end of the table, sheets were hung up on hangers and a small note attached with straight pins telling them the price and sizes. Keep the CD s lined up in shoe boxes very close to you as they can disappear (sad but true). On the tees, depending on condition and how quickly you want them to go, 3 or 4 dollars a piece, but then again, I can t see them. Don t get too crazy or they won t sell. People are usually looking for a bargain and where we live, there are a ton of sales every weekend. Keep any valuables close by, usually where you are sitting and taking the money. Have plenty of bags on hand and be flexible but don t give it away. Good luck and have fun. (we made $400 in three hours!)

Put the sheets in a box at the end of your tables, they will just make a mess of them no matter what you do. If you have something to hang the comforters over or from that d be good or just put them folded on the table. I d put the cd s in a small box on the table. Make sure you put out plenty of signs that can be read from the car, you won t be successful if you re not getting the people there! Used clothes are used clothes no matter WHERE they came from! You can start out at a couple bucks and lower your prices if they don t sell! Don t forget to put an ad on Craig s list, it s free! Good Luck! Oh and don t forget to have PLENTY of change ready when you open!

Yard sales are all about prep work..Make sure you get small white stick-on stickers and price everything.. People dont like asking - How much for this, how much for this, etc.. Price everything out before hand and be reasonable..Remember, people can go to GOODWILL anytime and get Abercrombie or Hollister T s for 5 or 6 dollars.. albeit cheap ones... So, you have to beat their price.. So, $2 or $3 or $4 dollars is about right.. You can try to price higher, but most people know prices.. You may be able to get more if they are good oneCD s I wouldnt even buy nowadays.. Everything is MP 3 and off the net.. CD s are about 2 bucks for popular.. Cassettes are a dime
