Back in the day, checkers would have to count out change from their cash registers. Nowadays, grocery stores have automatic coin dispensers which puts less responsibility on the cashiers. The process is very efficient; checker hands the customer their receipt and paper change, all while the coin dispenser kicks out the leftover change.

LOL!! If you got a dime every time someone had a comment about that!!
I’d just be glad the customers are being friendly!
LOL…Yea, I see the cashiers are upgrading…I was the one that had to count down my register…
Haha do you ever get the urge to tell someone “yeah, everyone’s a freakin comedian!”
it’s too bad the change doesn’t go into a tip jar for Paul
Oh I can see how that wasn’t funny even the first time you heard it.
I solemnly swear to never be a lame customer commenter. And the next time my change is dispensed via ‘ching ching ching’ I will hand it over to my checker. But only if it’s like over .50, b/c anything under that would seem lame, too.
Hahaha!!! Pretty soon you’ll be a dealer in Vegas! You should tell people that’s your way of saying thank you for returning the carts.
gotta get your joy any way you can apparently. Some days, watching the coins emerge from the change dispenser might be just over-the-top amusement!
I must say it’s never occurred to me to comment on the change dispenser. The first time I ever saw one was actually at a fast food restaurant, Wendy’s I believe, and I was confused by it. I was like, is that mine?
You make me want to be abetter person… Nay. But thanks for the blog.
Yes I have experienced these change dispensers before. Personally, I like the old-fashioned cash register better. But I’m probably in the minority. that and I almost always use a credit card.
Have a good weekend!
Thanks for stopping by on my SITS day! I LOVED all the comment love and now I’m here to spread it around!
You realize NOW I totally have to do that the next time I’m at the till!

I bet sometimes people who are trying to be friendly appear obnoxious…like you’ve never heard one of them say that before!
Where I worked, the guy jammed up the first quarter tower with a toothpick, the customers got shorted 25 cents each, he made about 30 bucks a day in the overage and used it for his drug habit. true story.
