My kid asked why I count bills twice at the counter, and her follow-up caught me off guard
She's 9 and she watched me lay out $140 in twenties and fives on the counter at the grocery store in Plano last Saturday, then count it again before handing it over. She asked why I do it twice and I said so I don't short the cashier. Then she asked if the card machine ever messes up. I actually had to stop and think, because when my debit card got hit with a double charge back in March, I didn't catch it until the statement came, and it took two weeks to get the $23 back. Counting paper money means I catch the mistake while I'm still standing at the register. Now she wants her own envelope for her allowance. What do you all do with kids and cash, do they get their own stash or do you keep it all together?
