Mathematical Failure (Unreal)

[skidderman]

My brother needs a few groceries in a large grocery store in Prince Albert, SK. What he buys comes to exactly $15.00. He decides because it is a low amount to pay cash and gives the teller a 20 dollar bill. She grabs her cell phone and turns around. Then she turns back to my brother & says, “I can’t figure it out”. He says to her what is $20 minus $15. She replies, “I don’t know”. His reply is you owe me $5.00 to which she hands him $5.00 with a mystified look on her face. incredulous. Absolutely unreal.

And this is how the Liberals get voted in.

It's no surprise that young people dont know anything worthwhile. All they're taught in school is useless garbage like "gender equality, LGBQT2+rights, climate emergency, the carbon boogeyman ",etc.
There's no time for actual life skills. The teaching profession has brought shame upon itself.
If you vote NDP this spring, you're part of the problem.

Yup if you pull out cash most cashiers are buggered, everyone uses debit so they don't have to think, it's sad really, a sign of the times and our woke education system.

I have never operated a till, if that is what it is called.

One.
It's a large grocery store.
Two.
A large grocery store would have tills.
Three.
The cashier scans items for the price, that's what they do in large grocery stores.
Four.
The price shows up digitally on a led screen ($15).
Five.
The cashier tells you the price verbally.
Six.
You give the cashier paper or plastic ($20).
Seven.
If you give paper (cash) the cashier makes an input for the amount of cash given ($20).
Eight.
The till automatically does the ciphering (20-15=5).
Nine. The cashier gives you $5 back. They don't have to understand anything but they must be able to read numbers.

Having said all ^^^^. I don't understand how a cashier could not "figure it out". There is nothing to figure out.

I think there is more or less to this than you provide. Like maybe she is just surprised that someone actually pays in cash and makes a dramatic moment of it?

She may have early onset dementia. And also. What is this mythical store where you can get a few groceries for only $15? That is the real story here

This girl would make a perfect wife for someone who buys a lot of hunting "toys" at the low prices you tell her you bought them at, lol.

Wife asked him to stop and pick up milk and a loaf of bread on the way home, sounds about right to me
