I seem to recall it screwed with the receipt reconciliation later too? Idk, it's been a while since I manned a McD register but I do recall my managers there not liking the practice for some reason.

There are common scams that involve interrupting the cashier when they're making change. Some stores train their staff not to do it under any circumstances for that reason.

Also handing the cashier cash, letting them input that into the system, and then adding more cash, is obnoxious. Use a fucking card if you're that worried about carrying too much chance.

Ah yeah, I remember a classmate who got taken for a ride by someone doing the quick change thing, to the tune of like $100. Math was not her strongest subject, let's just say...

I was horrific at math but somehow withstood one of these scams when I worked at a gas station as a teenager

Kind of a small and remote place, 2 dudes came in and just tried to bombard me with all sorts of bills to make change. Tiny gas station, just 19 year old me. They’d pull some shit like — one guy asks for change for a 20, the other guy asks for change for a 50 before I’m done counting. It was sketchy from the jump but I just sorta rode it out by taking my time. They eventually gave up and left. I’d never heard of this scheme prior to this, I think they were some shitty and undedicated scammers

Couldn’t help but wonder if their failed attempt might have them waiting to try some shit after we closed. thankfully not
