It is no wonder that 2 in 19 high school seniors can tell you how many inches there are in a foot, or make chage at a cash register, without looking at the register to find out how much you are supposed to get back.

If you want an education, the next time you are at a restaurant with a teenager at the register and the bill comes to say $1.52. Give that person two dollars and 2 cents. It really spoils their day.

Last summer I went to the register.
My bill came to $8.25.
I gave the girl a 10 dollar bill.
She said I would have to wait a minute,because she had no coin change in the register. I reached in my pocket and gave her a quarter.
She looked at me and said "You have already given me too much money".
I had to explain I owe the store $8.25 and have now given you $10.25 so I am entitled to geting back $2.
She questioned that, and only after the people waiting in line assured her it was correct did I get my change. - Tom
