That Confused Look

I got that confused look in the drive through today. You know the one where your total is $4.81 so you give them a $5 plus a penny? She had no idea why I did that and asked if I wanted the penny pack. No....I'd like two dimes instead of a dime, nickel and four more pennies! I think she was irritated so she gave me nickels.

Kids these days don't know what to do with math!

Why do you go easy on them?

I've gotten all my money back plus a tip on occasion LOL

Deer in the headlights, especially if you're under the 50 cent mark, then they really have to think about it.

Or don't pull out the penny and change until AFTER they've typed it into the register. That way they have to do it manually.

the guy I get my lotto ticket from does the same thing sorta. the weekly ticket is $16. I give him a $20. he ask for a $1 and then give me back a $5 but when I have a $10. a $5 and a $1 I give him that. but I actually use a card for virtually every purchase. yes I get your point.

I made my daughter go in and pay for her drink/M&Ms with change recently and you would have thought I asked her to build a space ship... :idea: I didn't back down...

Mom had her swiping the credit card at Schnucks since she was 8 yrs old, when she should have been learning how to count with quarters/dimes/nickels/pennies... :angry:

So yesterday I was hangin with the kids and I kept on asking them math problems where the answer was always SIX. 5+1, 15-9, 100-94, etc. So I tell them that I'm going to ask them a really complex math problem and the answer will be SIX so yell out SIX when I ask them the question in front of Mommy. So Mom comes home and I'm just talking to myself where I say 1+1 and my five year old daughter yells out SIX! lol
