Yesterday I purchased my prescription medicine at the local chemist. The price was $13.90. As I often do to reduce the amount of coins in my wallet, I spend them whenever it is practical to do so. In this situation I gave them 1 two dollar coin, 2 one dollar coins (and told them to take $3.90 out of that) and then a $50 dollar note. Thus I was to receive $40.10 change. Within 5 seconds I realised something was wrong as they had a confused look on their face. Then they grab a calculator to determine the change. FFS. Even if a person is unable to perform basic mathematics they just need to enter $54 in the computer which will automatically determine the amount of change.
WTF is going on with our education system? This is one of several similar instances I've experienced with the younger folk. This generation are for the tip! No wonder they are confused about their gender.
