115. I'm SOOO glad you mentioned that!!
When I was a teenager working in a retail store, we were taught to put the coins in their hands first, and then the bills. COINS ALWAYS SLIP OFF THE BILLS!!! And these days they put the receipt in your hand, too, instead of in your bag. Then it takes forever to separate things out, to put the change in your wallet, and ditch the receipt into the bag.

All of this maneuvering slows up the line behind you, even when a miracle occurs and the coins don't fall all over the floor from slipping off the bills.

Todays clerks are taught to put the coins on top of the bills. Some pig-headed corporate "trainer" just had a brain fart one day in the 80's, and decided to do things differently, and the stupid idea spread like a herpes epidemic.

It's a small thing, but it's a pet peeve of mine.
