Always count 3 times. Once in the cash drawer, once to your self, and again to the customer out loud. It might take a while in the begining but once you get used to it you'll be able to do it in your sleep. And if a customer says, thats ok I saw you count it once already, WHO CARES. Count it again anyways. They aren't the ones who will be responsible if you mess up.

A very easy way to count change back to a customer is to start with the lowest number & work your way up to the highest $ amount. For example: If a customer comes in to your store & purchase a dress for $34.82 and gives you $40 as payment Count the change back from .82. (You would give the customer back 3 pennies & a knickel to make .90 followed by a dime to make $1.00- you're counting from .82 up remember)you would say $35 and hand the customer a $5.00 and say $40- Thank you for shopping with us, etc It's really simple. I'm sure you'll be great at your job.

Once you learn to use the register you will never have a problem.
Greet your customer and then concentrate on what you have to do:take money / give change. Blank everything else out. Do this until it becomes routine. Don't be shy or afraid to tell your customers that it's first day, or week, or just that you are still new and therefore still learning. Honest people will understand.

My daugther just started a new cashier job and I told her and I'm telling you take your time count your money two times when you take it from the draw and count it by speaking clearing and loud enough for customer to hear you so that they know the amount of change they received is the amount on the screen in front of them hope this help don't worry you will do great the best of them have butterflies

Most cash registers these days will tell you how much change to give. Assuming that you enter the sale amount and the amount tendered by the customer.

Uh, I guess you can use a calculater. Or start practicing in stores. Like when you buy something predict the change before you get it.
