In your employment history, one might find
the job of cashier. (It could be that you are experiencing that customer
service position currently.) Many individuals that are (or were) cashiers have
the following character qualities in common. For them, their life seems to have
meaning when they can help (or encourage) others.
If you ask any current (or previous) cashier
if they are familiar with a deceptive individual known as the “quick-change artist,”
chances are the description below would be familiar to them (even if the title
wasn’t).
This is either an individual (or group of
people) that has the sole purpose of confusing (and redirecting) the attention
of the cashier to get more money back from them than the customer is entitled to
from the difference of a tendered cash sale.
An example of “quick-change artist,” could be
a customer paying for a small item (like a can of pop or a back of gum) with a $50
or $100 bill (with the intent to gain extra money from an unsuspecting cashier).
It might have a confusing directive like,
“No, no, here take these two $5 bills, and give me a $10 bill. No, no, wait
give me a $20 bill for these two $10 bills.
Wait can I get my $50 bill back, and I’ll give you…”
Notice all the chaos that is happening as the
challenged cashier is attempting to distribute the correct change to the
customer.
In a situation like the above, it is best for
the cashier to remain calm, do nothing, and ask for assistance from the manager
on duty (MOD). Place any loose money into the cash drawer, and then shut it
completely. Call for cashier assistance at another register to handle the check-out
line that may be backing up (and getting longer).
A good rule of thumb for anytime a cashier is
accepting money from a patron is the paper currency should be laid across the
register drawer. The change (money) should be counted back to the patron. When the customer is gone (and before
servicing the next patron), place the customer’s cash in the correct slots in
the register. (This method is simple with no fuss or confusion involved)
An individual that has chosen prey on the
vulnerability of others is dishonest and not honorable in the Almighty’s sight
(no matter how they justify their wrong behavior). Those who choose to harm
others (in any way imaginable) may eventually experience the victim’s plea as
given in Psalms 35:26 (NLT). It says:
“May
those who rejoice at my troubles be humiliated and disgraced. May those who
triumph over me be covered with shame and dishonor.”
Though it’s always important to ask for help
when it is truly needed, the important question to ask (throughout your life) will
always be: “Am I a burden or a blessing to those I exist with during my life
here on Earth?”
Only you can determine the answer to that inquiry
with the way you live your life. Think about that, and then make a change if it
is needed.
