Still much faster than a checkout in Thailand and the staff is quick. Bought just 1 item that cost 5.50. Gave 10 bucks in cash. The girl was stunned. Then she pulls out the calculator Thai style and does 10-5.50 and returns the correct change. It took me a while to figure this one out, but I realized no one uses cash in Canada anymore. more oddities coming up. I never use cash in supermarkets in Thailand.

They input the money you give them, including odd coins and the till calculates the change to give you. No one gets confused. I often do this to round out the change.
