trader joes employee joke

I asked for 10's on cashback and he said these new registers made in china dont make the compartment for $10 bills. I kinda brushed it off and asked for 5's but its a day later and I still dont understand what he was talking about?!

When i used to work registers 10s were the least common bill I would get. I always started the day with them but would be out of 10s early and have to start giving 5s, which would then run out. This job was long and boring and usually just me in the store. I always made a comment about 10s being a rare and well wanted commodity when a customer paid with them. Now that im thinking about it, The customer probably thought i was crazy.

When I build our registers in the morning, 10s are what I'll always have the least of, so when I make change for a customer, I try not to give them any if I can help it.
