The earliest date I was able to find it, was on a forum called "Cougar Forum", on April 22, 2021. And that post insisted that it was a "true story from my cousin" - which he apparently read on Facebook, with no actual verification that it ever even happened.

What ? It didn't happen??? No way!
What tipped you off? The OP actually saying it was a joke, or the multiple posters, posting multiple times, that it was a joke?
And no one has said, nor insinuated that all cashiers are stupid. But there are certainly some stupid current (and former) cashiers...
And before you get your knickers in a twist, I worked retail when I was in HS and college. I used the old NCR registers. I used to have a little contest, in my head, to see if I could figure out the change before the register did it...
