How much is my change?

This evening I went to the local Taco Bell drive through. The total for my combo was $6.76, I gave the young lady two five dollar bills and one penny.

She is staring at the register screen...

Still staring...

Thinking...

She opens the drawer and hands me $4.76 change.

So sad!

I take my $3.25 and hand her back the overage and say; "you gave me too much."

"Yeah, I was thinking about that."

 

She deserves $15 per hour for sure.

 

I call BS.





















You went to Taco Bell?!?

 

I actually did, tonight.

 

I always check my change before pocketing it - if it's wrong, I just keep it out in my open hand and look at the cashier until he figures it out - if that takes an uncomfortably long amount of time, I help the guy figure it out (usually by telling him/her what it should have been).

 

I love to give them a penny after they have rung up the bill and they have the change to be given. Love to seem them stare at the penny, not knowing what to do with it.

 

:up: Exactly. Can't do simple math but deserves $15.00/hour.....I think not. You're dumb ass gets exactly what it's worth.

 

um how do you get a job handling the till if you cant do simple math?

 

It's a lost "skill" set these days..... simple math! Of course, now there are schools that don't teach cursive handwriting either, so I guess we are raising a generation that can't add and subtract, and then will not be able to read the results of their failure. Damn, I'm sounding as old as I am!

 

Common Core will fix all of that!

 

It should but like everything they have taking a simple idea to ludicrous territory.

 

Amen to that....I spend as much time with my boys undoing common core stupidity as I do helping them with the more challenging stuff. Last year was the worst...they had math teachers that bought into common core hook, line and sinker. To answer 11 - 7 they had to draw multiple number lines and the process took 1/2 sheet of paper. Frustrating for sure.

 

More humanity from the Dungeon. Scaaaaaaaaaaary.

 

So you think a cashier that can not make change is worth more than minimum wage?

 

Do they follow this stupidity in private schools now or only in our local communist indoctrination facilities? I've seen some of that common core "math", dumbest shit I've ever seen.

 

A cashier like that is actually worth less than minimum wage, but the company will bite the bullet to get the personnel it needs. For a time. Then the little moron that can't count will be replaced with a machine, and she'll be sucking dicks on a street corner.

 

I don't see any value in cursive. Doing basic math will always have value.

 

I was trying to be nice this AM. Thanks for getting it back to Dungeon level.

 

& keeping the "change"

 

The best thing for her about sucking dicks is that it's usually priced in 10s of dollars. She won't need to worry about those pesky and infuriating pennies and quarters.
