    Pro tip if you’re handing over money: give the coins first, and then notes. It makes it much easier, because coins on top are likely to slip off and require more careful handling.

      Y’all still using paper money and coins?

      I haven’t used physical bills in twenty years.

          This, but at legal dispensaries.

          Not even joking. I don’t know if it’s my state’s specific laws or what, but the dispensary cashier can either process your card like an ATM (they round up to the nearest $10, then give you the change) or they can process cash.

          There is a third option, but it involves downloading an app specifically to pay for cannabis. And… yeah, I’m not doing that.

        Yeah in truth I haven’t used physical money in ages either. Tap to pay is so much more convenient, and even before cards started having that, inserting and entering your PIN was still way more convenient than the annoyance of cash. If I find out a place doesn’t take card, I’ll usually just walk out.

      As a former retail worker- we know. If you get the bills first, it’s our passive-aggressive way of saying you were a dick.

      We also know that tone doesn’t translate to corrective action forms. No one is getting written up for telling you to “have a sparkling day!”😘

      and how do you put away the notes without dropping the coins?

      With coins on top the notes, you can simply slide it into your coin purse and the put away the notes.

        With coins on the bottom, you can close your hand over the notes and the coins will sit comfortably in your palm. Then you slide the notes out easily.
