Food stamp tendering
If your customer makes payment (or tendering) in food stamps, obtain the food stamp-eligible subtotal* by
pressing the f key and make a food stamp tender entry before entering a cash or check tender.
Note
The food stamp-eligible subtotal* depends upon how your register is programmed based on the
food stamp-eligibility of the automatic tax on a sale of items eligible for food stamp payment, or
whether your register is programmed to allow the automatic tax to be paid with food stamps or not
or to exempt taxation. The example below presupposes that your register has been programmed
to exempt taxation.
When the amount tendered in food stamps is greater than the food stamp-eligible subtotal:
Your register shows two change due amounts in its display.
The food stamp change due appears at the left of the display in dollars and the cash change at the right in cents.
• When you enter only items eligible for food stamp payment.
Example
Your customer purchases a $4.25 item (dept.4, taxable 1, eligible for food stamp payment)
and another $4.00 item (PLU 34, taxable 2, eligible for food stamp payment) and tenders
$10.00 food stamps for them.
