I'm not the smartest person when it comes to math but at least I know how to count back change and am amazed that if the cash register breaks, the cashier has no idea how to do this task. They rely upon a calculator. What if the battery dies in that too.
I was at the store today when this happened. The register was slow, and I asked him "do you not know how to count back change" , he said "It's early in the morning". We had another encounter, my husband had to tell him the amount of change, and another one, "she's just started here".
What's your view on this subject readers??
Am I the only one that thinks the three R's have gone by the wayside? Reading, Writing & Arithmetic.
