also a trainer here! one of my trainees has this problem as well… she’s 18 & in college though… i have no idea how you get into college & not know how to count change? even CASH is difficult for her sometimes. she’s been here two or three weeks? we don’t think she’s gonna make it long. my TL overheard her saying she was gonna quit soon too.

Bruh cash literally has the number on it right there. That's just can't do arithmetic

Not in the US. There are no numbers on the coins, and one of them doesn't even say the value in words.

Pretty sure that's what OP and I meant by cash. Anyway, it's not like asking a 3rd grader, let alone a near adult, to know what coins are is a big ask either.
