I think she finally gave me the price adjustment to get rid of me. I believe she thought I was making it up. LOL!

We can induce 'Duh' moments at will...

The next time you get run up for somthing, say its 14.43...hand over a 20 spot. The expected change is 5.57.

Do some quick math in your head...5.75 - 5.57 = .18 Before the clerk gives you the change, say somthing like "here is 18 cents"....while that flushed look comes over their face...say "thats 5 and 3 quarters back to me"...or somthing like that...

Witness the hopless cerebral melt down...

Now is the time to add a 79 cent candy bar if your really a sicko...

These poor kids with these automated cash registers never learned how to make change by counting back.

Hand me a 20, I'll count "$14.43 plus 7 is 14.50 - fifty is fifteen, five is twenty. Here you are, sir."

We all learned to do it that way back when cash registers still had handles that you had to pull.

Reminds Me of one time at WhataBurger at 2AM, I placed an order and the total was $11.12 and I handed the girl a $20 and said I have the $1.12 but she keyed in the 20 to get the change and then thought that I was tring to scam Her and called the manager to the front. The manager looked at the situation and said "Well just give Him a $10.00 bill back." The girl said "but thats not what the register says!"

And to think that I was the high school drop out.
