One other word of advice…I am in the same boat as you so, just in case your cash register doesn’t tell you how much change to give, keep a calculator nearby.

Also when the people give you their money put that money on the top of the cash register box…give them their change and THEN as they are leaving put the money they gave you away.

There are a few scammers who will give you 20, you put the 20 in the till and give them their change and they will suddenly throw a big fit saying they gave you a 50, trying to confuse you into giving them more change than they should get back.

If you do it in the reverse putting the money they gave you into the till after you give them the change it is really easy to check how much they actually gave you in the first place.

Don’t worry, you will be fine. Eventhough I am really bad with Math, I only ever once had my till off by 1 cent. So, you can do it.
