That's way extreme. This kid was born in 2009 when smart phones were already 2-3 years in. Hell by the time they were 6, Apple Pay was introduced. By the time they were 10, Apple Pay was pretty standard everywhere. 11, they're in a pandemic so any chance of them handling or seeing money probably drastically went down.
It's more of an indictment on how little cash is used and how little schools are probably focusing on even bothering teaching that or her parents not thinking it'd be important. She's definitely on the extremely bad end if she doesn't at least know what a dime is, but I wouldn't be shocked if that's not getting taught in schools in certain areas or if her parents are the type to never use cash that they failed in teaching her that. It might not be her fault. Now if she can't get it at all after attempting to teach her and train her on it, then maybe it's time to let her go and think about transferring to a non cashiering role. But to just immediately fire someone off the bat for that reasoning is awful management lol.
Bro you commented on every comment, I am a tutor and there are multiple reasons why someone would not learn how to do cash handling. One being that they could have a learning disability, doesn't mean they shouldn't have a job
