I pay with a $50.
Cashier (about age 18) mis-types the amount tendered in the cash register. the computer shows that my owed change is $0.45.
Looking at my $50, she knows the computer is wrong, realizes her mistake. She then promptly calls over the manager to do the math for her. She didn't even TRY to do it in her head..
Manager looks over and says "You need to give him $43.45"
I corrected them both, and got my correct change
Doomed... we are all doomed....

As long as she got a barely passing grade in Math and passed the F-CATS she is fit to graduate according to our Governor Jeb.
Thanks Jeb!! Now my son spends his weeks getting ready for stadardized tests instead of actually learning to function in the real world. No child left behind??......BS!! All children suffer due to his agenda.
