I was recently very impressed by a Tim Hortons drive thru cashier. My total for coffee was $2.85.
When I drove up she had 15 cents ready in her hand plus a toonie ($2 coin), and a $5 and a $10 bill under a small paper weight She was ready to give change for $3, $5 bill, $10 bill or $20 bill before i even got to the window
I happened to pay with a $10 bill so I got the hand full of change plus a fiver. Guess if I pulled out the MasterCard she would have just dumped the coins back in the til and handed me the POS machine. Didn’t take her more than a few seconds to figure out which change necessary to bring it up to next dollar level then the major denominations above that before anything punched in.
She was of course a ‘mature’ employee of perhaps 50-60 years of age. I kick myself because I didn’t think fast enough to give her all the coins ($2.15) as a tip for being a smart clerk.
