Referring to the original post, this move WILL present a larger profit, and it's not something new.

Just like "gift" cards, there will always be some portion that doesn't get used, and other part of this is that they have your money in their bank account until it does get used, so the interest thing comes into play.

End of that story.


Regarding the counting back up change and the youth of America?

No one is training them to do this this right way. I blame the management that never learned how to do it right, more than the young cashiers just starting out.

For me, they do not get the chance to put change on top of bills and receipt. I refuse to let it happen. I take the opportunity to teach them the right way.

Sometimes they get the DUH look, and sometimes they actually understand.
