The magic change number is the high light of my
cashiering days. Whenever the change comes up as
41 cents my little heart leaps for
joy. You see
41 cents change means that i dig out one coin from each
slot in my
register (this is
american; i
apologize).
It's gotten to the point where I'm beginning to think of all my change in terms of how it relates to 41. Examples:
31 cents = 41 minus dime;
36 cents = 41 minus nickel;
66 cents = 41 plus 1 quarter
and oooohhhh 91 = 41 plus two quarters.
Yeah, i know i'm a tad bit weird...but look when you spend all day selling cigarettes to annoying little girls who feel all naughty and adults who have "gotta have a smoke" you get a little off in the head.
