Is it abnormal that I have worked at an ice cream shop for 4 years, but still have problems counting money?

I can do change back in my head, but usually when i have already cashed out there items and they and say the total was 5.23 and after i hit cash they wanted to give me two pennies to make it 5.25 i couldnt do that in my head. I also can not add up in my head….say something is 1.50 and something else 2.35 i cant do it in my head without writting down….how do i work on this? Am i really behind….should i already know how to do this…i am 20? thank you

no you are not abnormal everyone has certain things they are good at and every one is different. If your having trouble adding with a round number like 1.50 with a number like 2.35 try just thinking 1.50 plus 2.30 then adding the five in after at the end like so like 150+230 is 3.80 then the five cents is at the end leftover. that might help especially if its something weird like 3 cents or something at the end hope that helps

see if this helps…

“*The customer has purchased $7.33 in goods or food from you and has given you a twenty dollar bill to cover the purchase.

*Place the twenty on the ledge above the cash drawer (this is so that you don’t forget what was given to you).

*Count out the required coinage to the next whole dollar. In this case you would count out 67-cents to get to $8.00 as two quarters, one dime, one nickel, and two pennies.

*Count out the required paper money from the $8.00 to the twenty the customer gave you as two ones and one ten.

*When you give this change back to the customer the total should be $12.67.

*Here is the hard part – place the coinage into the customers hand first and then hand over the paper money”

For your subliminal mind this ability is not important, to acquire new skill you need specifically dedicate time to it. Make cards with the most confusing stuff for you and remember when you do something perfect reward yourself and focus on right answers

On the other side remember that you need to repeat things at least 40 times to make them perfect on the beginning, later will be easier. And remember chinese proverb.: no stupid people exsist, u need to study little bit more ant thats it.

Your only problem is that you might get anxious when making change, give yourself some time and it will come to you.
