GPYIn response to the cashier saying what?The cashier asked me: Are you ready for check out?

My usual experience with cashiers is this.
I go to the counter and put my items on it.
She or he enters the amounts into the register and then says eg $36.40. please.

OK. My questions basically is if it's OK to say to the register:
That's it. OR That's all.
Like when you're at a drive thru and have completed your order.
Thank you.
That's it. OR That's all.

bebopAre both ok?Yes. It doesn't matter whether you say "That's it" or "That's all" when you are saying that there is nothing more. (You're finished. You have nothing more to say or to do.)
The same is true of the question form. "Is that it?" or "Is that all?"
