[QUOTE="clembo, post: 263914, member: 8033"]Thanks for the insult. It means so much from someone who has obviously NEVER run a register in a high volume business. Truth be told most people that have never actually worked a cash register in a high volume setting COULDN'T. Believe me. I used to run a truck stop, did all the paperwork and was required to run a register as well. Pumping well over $10K through your register in an 8 hour shift was NOT uncommon and this was BEFORE diesel (and gas) went to $3 a gallon. Three registers were going and ALL did that volume. In addition you had to know how to process about 9 or 10 types of fuel cards and even print Comchecks for drivers. This was not McDonalds where - hey it's lunch get ready. It went on for hours and you had to get your own change from a smart safe. Well, it's not too smart having a few hundred dollars worth of coin just laying "wherever". Dollar coins really did hamper the process on the rare occasion that they came in but you'll never understand that. Everyone was reponsible for his/her money and losing it gets people fired. I know - I fired a few in my time over this. So see - it's NOT all like working at a burger joint. You might excel there ( a burger joint) with your infinite knowledge.
