Some people are worried that if they are too slow in the checkout line, the people behind them will complain or make rude comments. Here are some suggestions:

Organize your money

You can ease the stress of checking out food or other purchases by keeping your paper money organized and separated according to each denomination (see How to Identify Paper Money).? This will allow you to rapidly identify the bills you will need when paying the clerk.? Coins can also be identified tactually which will allow you to identify and use change in a transaction.

Support from Sighted Person

? Until you build confidence in doing things in a different way and independently, you may want to bring a sighted friend or family member with you to assist you with checking out.

Order Groceries by Telephone or Internet

?

It may be possible to order groceries over the telephone or the Internet in your area.? Ask your local grocer.
