That cashier wasn’t patient attention. Your technique is fine.
Comment on America Must Free Itself from the Tyranny of the Penny
henfredemars@infosec.pub 2 weeks agoThe other day I paid with a $20 bill and two ones for a $12 item so I can get a whole $10 back instead of more ones. The cashier mindlessly saw the $20 as a $10 because it’s so exceedingly rare for someone to intentionally overpay to control the change. After that, I stopped doing it.

I’ve found the trick is you have to say “Here’s $22 dollars” out loud to them.

It’s getting rare to pay with cash at all

Adding extra for round change was not only common, but cashiers would ask for it. But that was 20 years ago, when I still used cash. The only cash I ever see now is the one I keep around to put under my kids’ pillows for their teeth.
