Her hand is in the change drawer picking up coins, then thinking twice and putting them back. I think she is about to hyperventilate. The man eventually tells her 14 cents. She takes a deep breath and says thank you, I can't do math in my head. She then shorted him $1.00 because she still can't grasp the change part and has to call the manager to open the register. Really? Don't they teach simple math in freakin 1st or 2nd grade.
Unfortunately, I have seen this many times. It seems to be the norm with the younger generation. And this is the future of our country.
Pretty sad and scary at the same time.
Bets on how many posts until this goes political?

🙄. The education level of people in this country is scary. Back when I used to use cash, this would happen to me too. I had to restrain myself from saying "If you are old enough to have this job then you are old enough to be able to make change."
