moron shop assistants
who hand you your change on top of the notes and receipt, leaving you to scrunch the lot in your hand to avoid dropping the coins. How f*&Ken hard is it to give you the coins THEN the notes and receipt.

Also...
Check your change. I'm always suspicious with this that it's a varient of the "handful of wet change" scam.

By confusing you and diverting your attention away from the amount (forcing you to pocket the change quickly to dry your hands or juggle the paperwork), there's an opportunity to short-change you slightly, which mounds up if you're doing it to every 10th person...

When I were a lad, you used to get change counted out into your hand. Always a nice surprise when that happens now.

I find it quite handy, the change slides straight out into the coins part of my wallet leaving me the paper bits to put at the back. Rather than wrestling the paper in while spilling change all over the floor.

ever worked in a shop?
it's a horrifically mundane experience, and most customers want to be in an out as soon as they can. it's much easier to give them change and move on to the next, as if i spend time faffing about, every single customer behind you will think we are both c8nts
