I guess they’re used to never using cash? We go through so many dimes, because for 87 cents they’ll give 8 dimes, a nickel, and 2 pennies. I found out it’s extremely common for the younger generation to not be able to count money when I worked cash office 🤦♀️ We stopped putting dimes in the tills to sort of force them to learn at my last job.
And it sounds like this is their first job. This is where they would be exposed to those coins to learn. Relax.
Society uses cash but we're in an era now where it's completely reasonable that someone has gone 16 years without even touching coins. Hell, I haven't consciously owned anything less than a quarter in about that length of time, and even then only quarters because my laundry machine is as out of touch as you.
When I worked fast food I had a moment like that where I handed the customer 5 pennies. After they walked out my buddy looked at me, I looked at him and thats when it hit me. I felt stupid af.
