An early sign of aging?

[Nystul]

I'm glad I did not skip Math class back in the 50's because today it does come in handy. Here is a Test:

Why did the Clerk Ring up the order of $5.66...for $6 dollars <_<

Total came to $5.66
Gave the clerk $6.16

I've noticed that clerks at UDF and other places with a lot of small orders will often put in an even dollar amount, instead of entering the amount of money they are given. I think that is pretty silly. It saves one or two key presses at most, and increases the chance of human error or a dispute with customers. But I don't really care if they enter the amount given or count back change in a formal manner, as long as they get it right. This guy just honestly had no idea why I was giving him the extra 16 cents. I guess if he had entered the amount in the register, he probably would have figured it out. I think he was about to give me my 16 cents back, pull 34 cents from the till, and give me those as well. :D
