Hopefully you'll have a cash register that tells you exactly how much change the customer should get. I think being a cashier can be fun. You meet different people and it's a nice way to start out in the work world. If you really have a hard time with making change, that could be a problem. Likely, you just need some practice at it. Good luck.

You are no different than any other college grad - if you don't participate in clubs, do internships, develop a relationship with former students, professors, and community members = you can't expect to get a decent job after you are through with school. You can get a bike to be able to leave your immediate area. I've seen two programs, just in the past week, that are giving bikes away in my city. Use freecycle or the free area of craigslist if you can't find a program like that. I don't think employers have a problem with your JD or that you will always be looking for something better ~ you don't come across as the most ambitious guy. Reasons I say this: - it doesn't appear that you have done any kind of work experience either as an undergrad or grad student. Who knew in 2013, that an accredited college would even allow you to graduate without it. - you can't figure out how to get outside your little walking area - you are dead broke and in the last 8+ months you have applied to 97 ENTIRE JOBS. That's about 12 jobs a month. Someone in your situation should be applying to 20-50 jobs a week. - I can't even guess how you spend all your time... My thought is what kind of position do you think you are qualified for? Without knowing your undergrad degree, no way for us to tell. But it's clear you are going to have to change your entire personality, if you expect to find something.

Hopefully the till will tell you what change to give. If not then practice, practice, practice. I find the easiest way to work out change is to count backwards. E.g. if someone buys something for $10 and it cost $2.50 then this is how I'd work it out. I'd get a 50 cent piece to make it $3. Then i'd get a $2 coin to make it up to $5. Then a $5 dollar note to make it up to $10. Hope that makes sense. It's easier than working it out other ways.
Here's another example
Customer buys something worth $4.80 and gives you a $20 note. You give back 20c($5), then another $5 ($10), then a $10 dollar note to make up $20 change.
I hope that makes sense, it helped me so much cos I'm like dislexic with numbers and counting!!!
Sorry, I'm from Australia, so the money 'terms' are prob confusing you. Anyway, good luck. You get the idea!

It is at first, but it gets easier. Before long you'll know that $20.00-$17.31 is $2.69 without even thinking about it!
The best way to count back change is to take the amount of the purchase and count up to the dollar amount tendered. So if they give you a $20 for a $5.32 purchase, count 3 pennies to make 40 cents, then a dime to make 50 cents, then 2 quarters to make $6, then $4 to make $10 and a $10 to make $20. I hope that makes sense!

Why did they hire you in the first place? Why don't you practice at home making change. I was a cashier and once you do it for awhile it becomes second nature. It's nice at the end of the night when you have a balanced drawer. Keep that in mind as a goal.

boy I don't work or ever worked as a cashier but I had friends and even my husband used to work as a cashier and what they told me was that it is not hard they said that at the beginning it's kinda complicating but it gets very easy after you get the hang of it.
So good luck and congrats on you part time job

It isn't too hard..
You'll get better with some experience.
You'll get some supervision and training.
Give it a try. If you can't do it, you can always do another job.
It's not a big deal.

It will be the easiest of all the jobs you have in your lifetime.
