# hell no
i'm a student, the only time i operate a till it's touch screen

i just prefer using the numerical keypad (better for you too, less likely to cause carpal tunnel)

# I dunno about better for you
depends what I'm doing really

I find I only really use the numpad when using excel or something like that

but I'm a touch typist anyway so in general typing the number keys at the top come to me more naturally and quicker

# also gives you tennis elbow
i touch type too, mostly, but if i'm writing out pins, phone numbers etc i use the numpad
