I just bought a coffee at an OTR, cost $5.95. I gave the girl three two dollar coins. She used a calculator to work out the change.

I have noticed that a lot with the young ones serving, as soon as you pay with cash they literally have no idea how to work out change :shock:

I remember a similar experience way back in the mid 1980s. I popped down to the stationary shop from my practice to buy a few pencils. The girl serving picked up a calculator to work out the total and came up with a hugely excessive figure.

I did the calculation in my head (out loud) and said, "The total should be "x" perhaps your battery is dying.".
She said "I'll take your word for it."

The education system has been on the way down for years...

Yep, my Nanna has this really bad habit of offering the exact cents after she's handed over the note, you should see the fear in the kids eyes at Drakes when she does it :lol:

Counting will serve no purpose in 20 years anyway, all shopping will be done online and a calculator will add up the 'total' cost, you will pay by either punching your card details in or a pay wave of some sort. :lol: :lol: ;)

Just like there will be no need to learn how to write in future years. I mean my 12 year old doesn't even take a pen to school, everything she does is on her laptop. They are planning on going paperless within 5 years for 'environmental' reasons.

Our mortgage broker had to get a calculator out and I told him the amount before he punched in the first digit...[emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]

But it's humorous on the rare occasion I use cash, I just tell them the change...they run it through the till and look horrified that anyone can use kindy level maths.

Its so sad on both levels - cash helps learn value of money instead of just swiping a card and not realising the impact.

Similarly with handwriting, it's a beautiful art form when done right, and everyone should learn how to write print and cursive.. like a cricket scorebook how good does it look when scored by someone with neat tidy handwriting.. thing of beauty.

We got our mortgage almost a year to the day and didn't pick up a pen at any point through the process. All documents were digitately completed and scanned to email for sending.

The closest we came was doing our signature with our finger on their tablet. Which also was on the only day we actually went inside the bank throughout the entire process.

It is nice to have the basic skills though. There are still places where you can't automate that sort of thing.
(Like when I was in rural Sabah and Sarawak and the remote Turtle reserves a few years ago.)

A few years ago I went into a KFC and bought a small snack that cost $3.85. I gave the teenage girl at the counter who served me a $5 note. She typed in to the register that I had given her $50. She then handed over $46.15 in change to me. I said that I handed over $5 and that you can't give me $46.15 in change. The girl couldn't understand the logic. I went down the path of "you're handing me back more money that what I gave you..." She was still confused. I was tempted to accept the change and run but I had my impressionable primary school aged kids with me and had always imparted the principles of honesty on them. But honesty was losing the battle against stupidity in this case ! Eventually I persuaded her to call over her manager - explained that I can't get $46 change when handing over a $5 note and eventually honesty and logic won the battle !

The loudest two people here that ramble shit to each other all day every day put a sign up in our work kitchen asking people to keep their voices down in the office.

I asked them if they see the irony in it and they thought I was trying to be funny and sexist.

I sit 10-15 metres away from them and have to wear head phones all day to drown them out, I legitimately am Carol's work colleague.

I move on October 1 so I am counting down the days, hours and minutes!

I went into a sprints one day with a $50 note and asked the dude if he could change it for two 20's and a 10, he declined and told me I had to buy something for him to do it.

They had a drinks fridge there and there was an 80c water so I got that and had the shits on as I handed him the $50 note, the dumb f*** gave me the fifty back plus my $49.20 change, I thanked him and then walked briskly to my car and took off like a shower of shit.
