31 for 21 Day 28 Rude customers scare me
The biggest fear I have at work is that a customer will call me the r word. You may be wondering why I have that fear since I do not have an intellectual disability.
I work in the college bookstore. I work the cash register, see below for money handling tips, and sometimes it gets busy. I do have unclear speech and problems using my hands at times, so uneducated people could assume that I have an intellectual disability. Being in fear of a word being used towards me should show how bad the word is. The word stings and should not be used.
The closest thing that I have come to the r word was a customer trying to grab his merchandise. from me. It really rattled me up. My boss is really great and has told me that he would defend me. My boss is the best boss ever.
Here is a related story about having others back at work.

31 for 21 Day 27 : Money handleing tips
So today I am going to be talking about two strategies that help me work the cash register at the bookstore. When someone asked me what is something you did not think that you would be doing I said working the cash register. I was able to surprise myself and work the register.
Here are two tricks I use.
One I picture an 100 chart in my head. This helps me a lot. Also skip counting helps a ton as well. I am glad I was exposed to this in my gen ed math class.
Trick two
I have a hard time telling the difference between a quarter and a nickel, but I can read those words. On the quarter it says Quarter dollar so I find that and then I know its 25 cents.
I will say that working the cash register has been THE BEST way for me to handle money.
Do you guys have any tips let me know in the comments below
