What is the correct way to give change?

Answer 1

The old fashioned way is best....

If someone gives you $10 for an item that costs $5.25 you simply count it back. As you hand the person the change (75 cents) you'd say... $6.00. Then you'd hand them 4 singles and say $10. If they had handed you a $20 you'd add another $10 and say $20.

This is the only correct way to give change as the recipient can count along with you. You may notice that banks usually do this.

Answer 2

The correct way is to count the change back to the customer to the amount they gave to pay. For example the bill was $12.73. and you are given a $20 bill to pay for it you. Give back 2 pennies,1 Quarter,2 $1 bills and 1 $5 bill. You say 12.73 --74, 75, 13, 14, 15 , 20 as you put the change and money in their hand. So many people do not know how to make change. I hate when they just put the whole amount in my hand and there are a lot of people behind me. I feel like I have to count it myself to make sure I am given the right amount. There have been a lot of times when I have left and found I was not given the correct change.

Answer 3

Giving Back Change

Answer 4

Correct change means if ur order is $1 and .40 cent, the cashier has to give u the correct change back which would be .60 cent. And yes in most cases the correct change does mean the exact amount.

Answer 5

I was trained by a large national retailer to do it like this:

For example, if the price of the sale was $4.39 and they gave you a $20.

1. Leave the bill they gave you on your side of the counter in front of the register, so you do not get confused about what denomination they handed you.

2. First, count the change yourself out of your cash drawer into your own hand, starting from the sale amount and working up.

3. Then, count it back to the customer, again working up. First, put all of the coins firmly into the palm of their hand... this makes $5.00. Then quickly count the bills in ascending order laying them one at at time in the customer's hand on TOP of the coins... another $5.00 makes $10.00, then a ten dollar bill makes $20.00.

4. Double check back to the bill received from them to be sure you have made change for the right amount, and then put their bill in the cash drawer.

Never count coins one at a time. It takes far too long, and will slow your line down to a snail's pace. Only count the bills one by one.

Never put bills into the customer's hand before the coins. If you put coins on top of the bills they will slide off onto the counter or the floor, and again you lose precious time while the customer fumbles with their money.

I'm amazed that so few people are trained to do this properly. I hate it when some kid in a cafe throws coins on top of a stack of bills laid in my hand, then gets annoyed with ME when I end up having to say "wait!" while I put my purchase aside so I can fumble with two hands to take the coins off the top of the pile before I can put my money away and move on. It's so simple.

Answer 6

First give the coins then the bills. Most places lay the change on top of the bill and had it all to you then you have a tendency to
drop the coins. I hate it at Fast Food windows when they hand you your change then try to hand you your food & drink before
you can even put change away.

Answer 7

Give the change first and then count dollars back to customer until you reach the amount the customer gave you to pay the bill.

Answer 8

Count the change back from the total purchase and then the bills up to what bill or amount was given.

Answer 9

the correct way it give change is to give the correct amout back, Thats it, once you done that, that's all that counts. Change in the hand first then the bills.

Answer 10

Round the change off the the nearest dollar. Then count up until you reach the amount that was given to you.
