Food stamp tendering

If your customer makes payment (or tendering) in food stamps, obtain the food stamp-eligible subtotal* by pressing the fkey 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.

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 sell 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.
