can someone explain this to me like i’m in kindergarten😭

The cashier is still short a dollar the dollar he gave the customer was from his previous balance prior to the sale. Technically his drawer is still short

@flolikelararaj maybe i’m dumb but i still don’t get how he’s “short” a dollar , pls break it down further to atomic particles😭🙏

So basically when the man handed the cashier a 10 for a 9 dollar purchase the dollar came out of the drawer and that was already his prior to the purchase so then the customer made another purchase for 2 dollars and just hands back the dollar. The drawer is short bc when he settles the register at the end of day what he sold vs what is in his drawer will be short by a dollar. This is the best way I can break it down.

@flolikelararaj @beyoncegarden Man i don’t get it either i’m 9 and bad at math, can you dumb it down so even i can understand?

@flolikelararaj @beyoncegarden Cashier has $1 If cx buys 2 items, he should have $12 in his till at the end (his $1 + $11 items) Cx buys $9 item, gives him $10 Cashier now has $11, gives cx $1 change Cashier now has $10 Bro buys $2 worth of item. Gives dollar back Cashier still only has $11. He's short $1

@Ibrolegrand @beyoncegarden Tysm I was faded earlier so I couldn’t articulate it but basically sold 11 dollars worth of stock already had 1 dollar profit prior to the sale he should have 12 dollars in his till but now he only has 11

Kindergarten explanation incoming Customer wants two crystals that cost $11 total. He hands $10 for the '$9 one', gets $1 change back. Then says 'wait actually the second is $2' and hands the $1 change right back — but talks super fast to confuse the cashier into thinking that's extra money from him. Cashier ends up with only $10 real payment instead of $11. Sneaky trick, drawer short $1 😂

The money he had in his hand was change from the previous transaction, the coin was not originally his

Here's Cardi explaining it for you:

Crystal is 9 Here’s 10 Heres 1 back (9) Crystal is 2 Here’s 1 back (10) Not 11

The $1 dollar coin was the store's before the transaction. People tried to pull this crap on me at Walmart all the time: "Sir, you gave me a twenty, and it's still sitting right here. We have the whole thing on tape—if I call security, it'll just waste our time."

Please never set foot near a voting booth.

The fact that so many people seem to be confused by this is …. concerning

WTF?

This is the "short change scam" that is pulled everywhere. One of my co-workers years ago fell for it. Usually the scammer will use multiple bills to make it more confusing.

Let me explain. You are in kindergarten learning the numbers 1, 2, 3… etc Next year, you will learn addition and subtraction, and you will understand this then. Understood?

If you need it explaining your perfect prey to the scam. He gives the cashier 10 dollars. The cashier gives hime 1 dollar change. Dude only atarted with 10 dollars. So the other crystal is 2 dollars. And 9 dollars + 2 dollars is 11 dollars. However the cashier is -1 dollar

I know you are dumb...but this level of dumb?

Clock out for me honey 😭😭😭

He bought a $9 thing. Pays with a $10 note. Is given a $1 coin as change. He then tried to pay for the $2 things by giving the coin back. The confusion is the note & coin have the same value as the 2 objects. But the coin isn't providing any new value as it's a piece of the note

If the till starts with $100, the customer gives him $10, then the employee hands back $1 that means there's now $109 in the till. If he only hands him back the $1 in change for a $2 item that means the till is at $110 when it should be $111. That's as simply as I can explain it.

Open the schools

maybe this will make it easier for people? think of it like this: if you make change and hand that change to the customer, the transaction is concluded, and any further additions or changes need to be treated as a new transaction. if that is not done, the computer in the machine thinks you made 12 dollars but you are standing there with 11. at the end of your shift, you will pay the store $1 out of your pocket (most places arent that petty but just to make a point)

Next time I'll shop, I ask the cashier to show me how much cash they have in their pockets... ...since they already have the amount for what I want to buy, it means that I'm good, right? 😒 (and yes, this is a classic scam, usually with making change)

Duffer what about the one coin he returned. Are you people actually dumb or just pretend like it??

He had $1 in his drawer. He took in $10, and sold $11 of products. Hes drawer should have $12 in his drawer now.

I'm going to try this I bet it'll work on any 7-Eleven clerk

Absolutely! So, think of it like this: it's a fun game where every piece has a special role!

crystal x= 9 crystal y = 2 10+1=9+2 11=11

Even though the seller had a 10 bill in his hand, it was "worth" only 9 because he gave 1 as change.

That was the sellers dollar.... smfh

total cost 11 -buyer had 10 note -paid 9 first, he still has 1 $ left after the exchange - so far so good, but the next step tricks the seller. - seller doesn't realise the note he just received comprises of $1 his own and $9 from the buyer

for the seller: out of the "$11 he has in his hands" at the end the $1 coin was taken out of *his own pocket*, so the buyer only paid him $10 for the 2 crystals that should be $11 (the buyer still needs to pay $1, it doesn't matter how much money the other guy has in his hand)

Crystal is $9 Buyer gives $10, receives $1 change Seller has therefore received the $9 for the crystal = sale is complete. Second crystal is $2 Buyer only gives $1 meaning he still owes seller $1. Seller has received $9 for first crystal and only $1 for second crystal. THE END.

If you give me a dollar and I give it back to you, you have the exact same amount of money you had before. That dollar didn't come from my wallet, so it can't be counted as me paying you a dollar.

What a surprise, people who are into crystals are also really bad at math

He only gave him $10 in total

That doesn’t work because he gave him and extra dollar back in change

Cashier: $1 + $9item +$2item = $12 Buyer: $10 (Buys $9item, pays $10, get $1 change) Cashier: $10 + $2item = $12 Buyer: $1 + $9item (Buys $2item for $1) Cashier: $10 + $1 =$11 Buyer: $9item + $2item = $11 In the final transaction, the buyer gained by $1 of value and the cashier lost $1$ of value
