Today, I was tending the cash register. I scanned a lady's items which totaled $89.68. She paid with a $100 bill. I gave her $11.32 change. She angrily gave back the extra dollar and complained about "schools nowadays". I'm an AP Calculus student. FML

wait huh she got mad cuz you gave her an extra dollar by mistake :-/

Doesn't the cash register tell you how much change to give? You may want to reconsider your major if reading 4 (four) numbers on a screen is confusing.

People who are telling this guy he's a moron are either kids, or never worked a job where they handled cash. It doesn't matter if you're a maths genius, if you work behind a register long enough, you're going to at least once give someone incorrect change.

the difference between a 'smart' person and a 'dumb' one is how well they find and use the tricks that make the mental work easier. its better to be capable of doing that in your head than be the sort of person that has to close the store if the power goes off or the register breaks, and im sure you would have gotten a pen and paper if it had been thousands

wow you are AP calculus, so you have taken a high school basic calculus class, are we supposed to assume you are smart?

What is your complaint? Her comment? Isn't it on the milder end of what you're accustomed to hearing in the wonderful world of customer service? If you're mad about the fact that you made a mistake, why did you bother to include her comment? It wasn't unreasonable.

Doesn't everyone in this world makes mistakes?

the woman was a bitch...you made a mistake...life goes on...cept that woman is probably still a bitch. atleast you learned something from that situation.

hahaha, i also had this kind of experience. after two years of using calculator to study physics and its mathematics in college, it is common to mess simple arithmetic. the lady really had the 'smarter than thou' attitude

I blame schools too. making us learn all this advanced shit, letting us use calculators. We forget how to do simple math.
