At our grocery store the register tells how many of which to give the customer. So if your bill is 3.10 and you hand them a 5.00, the register tells the cashiers to give back a dollar bill, 3 quarters, 1 dime and 1 nickel.

Are you serious!! Next thing you know it will come up with pictures of what to give back because they won't know what a quarter or dime is. Unbelievable!!!

They already are confused like that. At the local McDonald's I once paid the cashier by including a Kennedy Half Dollar. He credited me $1 for it. I had to explain to him what a half dollar was.
My wife gets embarassed when I challenge the mental agility of people working thoughtlessly in shops and restaurants. For example:
A saleswoman was standing by the supermarket exit with her clipboard ready to ambush us as we were leaving.
"May I ask sir if he might be interested in a Dolphin Shower fitted in your home?"
"No thank you, I wouldn't", I replied.
"May I ask you why not, Sir?" she persisted, with pen poised to fill in her form.
"We don't have a dolphin or any other pets", I told her, struggling to keep a straight face.
Her face told me that she had never had anyone come back with that reply before. Meanwhile my wife was berating me for yet another rude display. I just can't help myself when presented with people who just don't seem to see what they are actually saying.
Some jokes never get old. I actually had the garage opener happen here, I couldn’t convince the installer that 1/2hp was more powerful than 1/3 hp.
I will have to admit to taking statements literally. I have tripped up all sorts of folks. Since I have done it with a big smile, they end up laughing after I explain to them why their statement or action was funny.

Just last week, I did the same scenario. The kid wasn't sure what I was doing, and he then hit the wrong keys on the register. He started laughing because the total due back to me was over $500, we all got a laugh out of that! He got the manager to correct it, lol.

At least he was smart enough to know he made a mistake.😊

Those are of the very good but very sad variety as they are all too true. There's a very appropriate response I can't make because it is in the wrong forum.
THOSE MAYBE OLD BUT THEY ARE FUNNY.
