I have heard lots of stories on how young people of today have no clue how to count back change...well...it ain't just the young. I had a much older lady as my cashier this morning. My total came to $15.90. I handed her a $20 bill and before she could even place it in the drawer I said, "oh wait, here, this will help." And handed her a single dollor (her spelling) bill.
She just stared at me....so I said, "this way I'll just get a 5 back and 10 cents."....she still just continued to stare at me so I literally repeated word for word what I just said (in case she hadn't heard me or something.)
She then starts shaking her head and rolled her eyes, put the $20 bill in the drawer and muttered, " so then what's the point, you'll just be getting this back then..." And proceeded to count out 4 one dollar bills from her drawer and handing them to me along with the one dollar bill I had given her. Kept shaking her head and rolling her eyes while handing me my 10 cents too. I smiled, said, "thank you" and moved on. Eh, money is money - at least I did get back the right amount anyway!
Suddenly, reading this, I felt VERY old.
Even MORE so when two of this person's friends commented:
Old people sheesh!! LOL!! and What a dork!
A few days ago, my post here was tittled "Ordinary"
Today, "Old".
I, too, am a "much older lady".
I, too, am a "much older lady".
Kudos to the "much older lady" (not me) who commented THIS way:
"...you know, if you are fortunate, before you know it you will be one of those!"
