Weighed as in with a scale? Possibly historically this might have been a concern or a mechanism to check for counterfeits, but currently the change and bills are placed in the same, non-measured, tray. It's just a generic plastic tray, and it varies from shop to shop.
But what is the point of using a movable tray in a shop or museum and so on, where employee has a cash or cash machine right next to it?
And if the tray is just a place to put cash before other person takes it - such trays are used everywhere in the world.
Was just in Japan and encountered these everywhere. We knew to use them from our research prior to the trip. Initially I was under the impression it was to prevent the spread of germs, but that didn't really line up because the money comes into contact with the cashier's hand regardless if the tray is used or not. I guess it could help reduce the amount of small hand-to-hand contact that is sometimes experienced when you place money in someones hand directly.
It was easier for the cashier to glance at the amount we had placed in the tray and help us count out the correct amount of money for our first few days there while trying to get accustomed to the types of currency.
Also, it's visual in the sense that both parties can easily verify that it is the correct amount and avoids any "…but I thought I gave you five quarters…".
This is exactly the type of course I'm interested in as an SEO and analytics guy with some technical background. Looking forward to seeing what it has to offer.
Just a heads up, this is also the type of course I'd pay for, depending on the quality and topics covered of course. I'm always on the look out for courses or products that can teach me how to do something very concise and actionable.
It wasn't an option for me as a kid. I was told I "wasn't good at math" so not to bother trying to program. Later I learned to work through those issues, and now it's accessible to me.
Apart from the motivation to prove to myself that I can do it, it's fun. Nothing quite like getting some piece of code to run successfully, or making something that people enjoy using.
Love Dirtbag Diaries, just wish they'd post more often, or on a regular schedule of some kind. Very high quality, interesting content when they do though.
Easily the best user on-boarding experience of any podcast app I've used.
I was afraid I was going to have to manually subscribe to all my feeds again, but they were imported smoothly. Creating an account couldn't have been easier either.
I also really like that there is a "Delete Account" option front and center, letting me know I won't have to jump through hoops to get rid of my account.
