And I agree with System-J. Notes first, then coins on top.
Since your hand is outstretched to receive the change, if the notes are on top they often fall/blow off when you move your hand back towards you. The coins on top prevent this from happening, and they easily slide off the note and into the change compartment in my wallet, or into my other hand for depositing into my pocket. |

Yeah? Are you buying everything inside of a wind tunnel? You should stop doing that. |

You need to read more carefully about how the proper method (coins-first) works. Because any cashier that hands you your bill flat or folded in the palm of your hand is just as stupid as the idiots piling the change on top of the bill (that invariably tumbles to floor due to it's sliding around on top of the bill).
With the coins-first method, no bills are blowing anywhere, because they are safely PINCHED between your thumb and finger(s).
The ONLY time money ever falls is when the coins are piled on top of the bill. The ONLY acceptable way to hand over a bill with coins on it is if you use the bill to slide the coins into the customer's hand AS you allow the customer to pinch the bill between their thumb and finger.
Having the coins safely cupped in the palm of one's hand also allows them to quickly put away their bills into their wallet (while still holding the coins) and then pocket both the wallet and coins.
Saving time is a good thing, because I don't know about you, but I like to have my money, especially cash notes, out in the open for as little time as possible. Piling the coins on top of the bill adds unnecessary time to the process of putting your change away. |

I respectfully disagree!
I guess it just comes down to personal preference  |

I hate the coins-last method, but I can at least acknowledge the logic behind it.
the only reason cashiers give 'notes' first is that they generally aren't alert or smart enough to do otherwise. "Twenty-two dollars...and fifty-seven cents." Reversing that order requires two steps of thought. As Jay would point out, you'd put retards out of work forever. |

Now that I give it more thought (ie: I'm effin' stoned) I can see where some of you are coming from. For instance, in your case, coins-first is most convenient because you use a coin-purse. Sliding in the coins actually IS quick and convenient.
From my experience working cash, the large majority of customers use their pockets to put their change. If you're using your pocket, coins-first IS the best method, because you will put away your bills quickly, as you're able to cup the change in your hand while you do it.
For people that don't use a wallet, it really doesn't matter, and they probably don't even notice.
Guess it's all about perspective. |

Yeah, my wallet has a small change compartment, so when I get coins on top, I just slide them straight into it, then put away the notes.
Not that it's that much harder to put everything away when I get notes on top, but I just prefer it the other way around :p
And lol at you being stoned and getting into this :haha: |

| As long as the person hands me the shrapnel to my palm, and then piles all the paper stuff on top, im happy. But I agree with the majority here, putting coins on top of paper pisses me off. |
