Sad commentary on the state of education / reliance on computers

I'd gone to a doctor's appointment this morning. Stopped by McDonald's before returning to work. Walked in so I could use the restroom. My order came to $6.87. I gave the girl $20.87. Went downhill from there.

She handed me $13.13. I said, "No, you need to give me $14" She replied, "I can't, the register says I have to give you $13.13".

Called the manager over. She had punched in $20 instead of $20.87.

The manager said "Give him $14" The girl was all flustered. "But, the register says..."

"Give him $14"

Sad commentary on today's kids. I guess they're skilled in demonstrating with ANTIFA and BLM but can't figure out how to do change.

One of my sons is that way. A lot of things come easy for him, so he expects everything he tries to come easy. If something doesn’t come easy, he tends to give it up.
