    I hear you

    some of them don't have that problem

    I get caught reading to my grandkids, skipping pages

    I mean, I've read some of these books till they're memorized in my mind

    and, the little ones are not about to be cheated out of their story

    they turn back the pages, and tell me, I missed something

    just sayin'

    have a great day

You are right.... I shouldn't lump everyone into that category. But, here's the thing, businesses that cash handle aren't teaching their employees to count back change. I know this, I see it. The register does the work for them.... Unless there is a mistake. That's when I see the struggle. I have also witnessed my coworker with the masters degree struggle to make change. (Granted, he is normally not a cashier, but basic math should not be a struggle.)

    I want to go through her line also!
I feel bad for her.... She had come to me and asked if she could get more hours because she and her boyfriend are behind on their rent and the landlord is threatening to evict them. Part of me thinks it's probably because they aren't managing their money well.... But this kind of stuff still pulls at my heart strings for people.

 the problem is not as isolated as you think...i would say passing out of ten chases if they to use their brain to solve a transaction seven will fuck it up.
but the best has to be Mc'D's when the cashier sought out the manager to help her....
and he was more lost than the cashier

there is a world of difference between insanity and stupidity

    good Lord! i was hysterical at the "what about the $200. what happens to that?"
She just couldn't get that $200 out of her head! LOL I really do think the schools need to add a class called 'Practical Math' where students learn stuff just like this. This is something they'll need to use the rest of their life even if they're just using it as a consumer.

 Why not just void the 200 that was entered? The register calculates the amount of change to give back, in this case it would tell you to give back 185.25.

I paid for a meal the other night. The total was 12.75. I gave the person a 20, two ones and 75 cents. He gave me back the 2 ones saying I gave him too much. I said it was so he could give me a 10 back. If he just entered it as I gave it to him in the register it would have showed to give me back 10. Trust the machine.
