So I went to Sonic today to get a couple of Cherry Limeades and my total, as always, was $4.26. I get to the window and the cashier says "That'll be $5.26." I said "5 or 4???" and she goes "oh, I'm sorry, 4." So I hand her a $20 bill, a quarter, and a penny. She comes back to give me my change and counts out two $5 bills and 4 $1 bills..."5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14...right???" I just looked at her and said "nooooooo, 16." The sad thing is that she STILL had trouble after I told her the right amount!!!

*shakes head in disgust*

Ya know...when I give you a $20 and the EXACT AMOUNT of change that my total comes to, you ought to be able to at least figure it out.
 
LOL...and while this doesn't relate THAT MUCH, it's still funny...

Sitting at the bar tonight w/ our group and everybody was off somewhere except for me and this one guy. So we're talking and "Brown Eyed Girl" comes on the jukebox. He starts talking about how much he likes the song and asks whether or not I like it. I reply that I, of course, like the song and was the one that requested it. Then he goes on to tell me how he's from Florida and is used to just relaxing and listening to stuff like that and how much he LOVES Jimmy Buffet. :wtf: I was polite, though...I just nodded my head and said "yeah" a couple of times while biting my tongue.
 
A lot of the distrust that comes with people paying like you did natasha comes from people trying to scam cashiers.

There are people who will try and confuse the cashiers and swindle them out of a few bucks here and there, and if the stores trained them properly, then this would have been mentioned to them.

However, I do know the frustration that comes along with the inability of doing simple math.

I went to buy a pack of somkes just yesterday. It was 5.38, I handed her a $20 and then asked if I could hand her the 38 cents and if she could put the rest in gas... fucking ridgeline eats up my wallet!! she looked at me with this "WTF are you talking about" look with a hint of deer in the headlights look, until the older lady behind the counter looked at her and nodded, YES.

Now according to regular math, I should have had 15 dollars when i made it to the gas pump, but somehow the only gave me 14,now how stupid is that? I went back in and asked the older lady about all this and she gave me my dollar back. She looked at the girl and shook her head.. and said "She JUST graduated from High school"

sad sad indeed
