Poll question: Do you arrange your paper money to face the same way? |
|
I honestly don't know what there is about this process- it makes no difference in the value of the bill, and it's easily counted no matter which way it faces. Yet time after time I see people compulsively arranging their folding money into neat, perfectly arranged collections, often considerably slowing the grocery store checkout process down.
Veddy interesting.

3. Yeah, from when I was assistant manager at a bakery |
|
and the manager Dave taught me "proper cash-handling procedures."

All bills face up and facing the same direction. It makes handling money so much easier, especially whe working with a good amount of it (and being expected to work fast!).
When I am initially issued a till at the beginning of my shift at the grocery store, I count all the cash issued and face/face it.
It is easy from then on out to stay organized, as well as making "countdown" at the end of the shift easier - and saving work for the people in the courtesy booth!

and when I put it in my wallet it is in numerical order (1s in front, 5s, 10s, and then 20s...rarely carry larger than 20s).

Then again, I'm a Canuck; I can tell what the bills are by the colour, so they can be mishmashed into my wallet...which they are.

I wad it all up in a ball and throw it at who I'm paying like they're some cheap whore.
:evilgrin:
Actually, I do find myself arranging the bills. I feel like they will have to do it and I don't want them to get pissed so I do it for them.

12. If you've ever worked retail |
|
Handling money is one of the first things you're taught, these days I rarely carry money, it all goes on the debit card.

13. Yes, all bills MUST be facing the same way and |
|
they must be in order by amount in my wallet.
Interestingly enough, I've worked retail as well. Hm.

Facing forwards, the right way up, in size order too. Normally £5 in the front slot in my wallet, £10 and £20 in the rear.

15. I think it's an occupational thing |
|
Both my Mother and Grandmother have worked in financial institutions all their careers. They are both meticulous about money facing the proper way and being specifically arranged.
I actually get tsked if they see my wallet's not in order!
