Pat Riot Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Like emailing politicians, bureaucracies, corporations or news agencies...and left clicking the mouse really really hard when hovering over the “Send” to be sure it gets there quicker and gets read... It’s a double negative experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 In the same vein, it can be said that my constant rapid clicking of pens at work is useless. However I know it drives everyone crazy so it seems to have a use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not useless. A couple hundred years ago when Petey ran a cash business & I cashiered for him when Aunt Jinx had book club, God help me if I didn't leave the register with all the bills facing the same way and without dogeared corners. I still keep them and present them to cashiers this way. And yes, I can count your change back to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, this is something I learned years ago when I was working as a teller in a bank--always face up and always facing in the same direction. Drives me nuts when I get change from making a purchase and the bills are going every direction. One should also look at the faces on the bills rather than just at the number in the corner. I've seen more than one instance where a $1.00 bill had the corners cut off and replaced with the numbers from a $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before she retired, Joyce, the long-time cashier at the local old-time hardware store, had all the regulars trained...if someone handed her a bunch of disorganized bills, she would give that over-the-glasses look and hand the bills back with the order to "fix that." Of course, she was also there every day, with a smile and a good joke or two, and knew the exact location of everything in the store...and the first names of every one of us. Good deal for her, but a bit sad for the customers when she finally did retire. CS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
