math in today!!!! lmao so true

Math Last Week:

Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register.

I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help.

While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried.

Why do I tell you this? Well,please read more about the "history of teaching math":

Yes, ByRon your point is valid, lol! With the advent of calculators somehow the generation of the 90's thru 04' don't know how to count change back. Just simple business math 101. I wonder if grade schools still teach this?
