So sad--but very true, it has always amazed me the number of people who can't make change without a register.
That's really more of an arithmetic skill. I remember when I was working at a pizza place in seventy-*mumble* and we didn't have a reliable register, so we added up orders and calculated tax. Even then it was something that took a little time to "Get Right, Get Fast", but once you did it for a few weeks, it was nothing.
I'm MUCH more concerned about people getting college degrees with no more math than "cookbook algebra". THAT is the scary part.
You just described me...and you should probably be concerned.
