And like this idea. Maybe should call the store and talk to someone in management about how to do this. Clerks and checkers generally shouldn’t handle their own money when they’re at the till.

Maybe a gift card would do? I have a few from Christmas - aren’t redeemable at my grocery store. As a bonus, they’re easier to sanitize.
