We went to a little restaurant we like Thursday evening. We had collected points and received a discount. The total was $13.98, the wife handed over a $20.
The cashier looked at the bill. She looked at my wife. The cashier stared at the cash again then looked at me. She took a breath and turned to find the manager. He was busy. Finally she pulled out her phone to use the calculator to see what change we had coming.
Why should I give her the answer? The nice young lady needs to learn how to count change.
I’m sure she went home ranting about old boomers who refuse to use a debit card.

Unfortunately it's the world we are living in. sigh
She can probably safely land a space shuttle with her phone though. Young people today (actually lots of people) just aren’t using cash at all now and aren’t required to do subtractions in their head; even those who work on a cash register are informed by the machine what the change will be. It is what it is - change (no pun intended) or be left behind.
"The change is: 2 $5's, 6 $1's and a $10......"
Keep the coins..............
