It is fun though when the counter person knows me and aks for my help, I'm usually half the age of the other contractor, and always make it a point to use big words and quick math written in draftmans print.

PS, when the wrong change thing happens to me, I just keep shaking my head until they figure it out themselves, I've gotten more in change than what I paid in the first place a couple of times, too. Fools. I am going to rule the world if things continue this way! I have been considering a hostile takeover of Ohio lately, any others from Michigan want to help?

I think that's hilarious, but they must think you're a real ass. hahaha

PS What's "draftman's print"? Is it some sort of shorthand or are you just talking about the really neatly printed alphabet used in drafting? Google left me hanging.
