The Things That People Want to Know

Time to do the period round up of search terms that land the user on the pages of the Frankly Wines blog.

Last month, someone wanted to know how a “20 year old J Roget sparkling wine tastes.” This one makes me laugh because the last time I drank a bottle of J Roget was almost 20 years ago. It was the pre-formal tipple of choice. Nothing said fancy-formal-dance-pre-party like a case filled with $5 bottles of bubbles. But please don’t do the math. It both dates me and possibly incriminates me.

Apparently my site has also become a key resource for people looking to learn the finer points of counting out a cash drawer.

Burning cash-drawer related questions included many variations on the following (with my answers in parenthesis):

  • how to count out a cash drawer
  • a quick way to count nickels in a cash drawer (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30…..)
  • how to count bills with one hand (I have no idea)
  • which side do ones go cash drawer (the far right)
  • how to count to 200 with 20 dollar bills (if you’re able to type in this query and read the answer….well, do you really need to ask this question?

It’s good to be needed.
