Poor old bugger, it must be hard trying to remember names at his age!

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

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."

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. In face they are planning on going paperless within 5 years for 'environmental' reasons.

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.

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 !
