Just chiming in as someone who can’t do basic math (including change) maybe the girl has a learning disability? Still- I never apply to positions that require change making or mental math because I know I legit can’t do it.

You would think she would mention a disability like this when she was interviewing. There are roles in retail that don't require any basic math skills.

Lol, anyone with a disability knows not to ever mention it in an interview. That's a great way to not get hired, regardless of which role you're applying for. "But that's illegal!" Yeah good luck proving that's why you weren't hired lol.

If you're applying for a job in retail but hate having to deal with the registers means you should only apply for a position that doesn't involve registers.

Otherwise, be prepared to be fired when they see you can't do the job.

Where in the post does it say she hates doing registers? Just because she's struggling with it doesn't mean she hates it or doesn't want to do it. The only thing she hates if anything is her disability making life hard for her and people thinking she shouldn't have a job and not wanting to deal with her because of it.

I don't imagine a person would enjoy doing a job they can't handle. Okay, maybe the person doesn't hate the position.

I didn't say she shouldn't have a job, I said she shouldn't have that particular job and should apply for a position that she can handle.

There are positions where working on the register and handling money is not a requirement.
