Practice and grouping.

Practice is just practice. There is nothing to that but time and energy.

But most cashiers I've worked with, use grouping to help makes things faster.

When counting change for a customer, the moment you see the total, take out the dollars and the quarters. When I see, 3.87$ as change. I'm already picking up the 3 dollars, and the 3 quarters in my hand, and as I'm doing that the only change I'm 'figuring out' is the .12$. One dime and 2 pennies.

Just count up from quarters. Even aloud. If you see 7.64. Take your seven dollars and two quarters and say “7.50” and then count aloud the rest of the change: one dime “7.60”, plus four pennies “7.61,62,63… 7.64 total.” Many customers really appreciate hearing their change announced out loud and don’t mind you counting it.

Best thing you can do is not get frazzled.
