Why do most of these students need math at all? All the fast-food registers do the math for them.

You don’t need a High School degree to get a government check.

Until the power is lost for two days because of a storm.

this has happened to me, several times,and the high school grad at the cash register had no idea how much change to give me. I usually have to re-educate them on how to count to 100.

I usually find that if my bill is $17.61 and I give the cashier $20.61, I usually get back my 61 cents in change and then get back an additional $2.39.
