I know both of those stories are true, I've seen total idiots at so many fast food places. I went into a McDonalds, my order came to $1.89. I gave the girl two dollars. She keyed it in as $20 cash tendered. The register told her to give me $18.11 as change. She did, I just stared at her. I had to explain to her what was wrong.

or....... the total comes to $1.81 and you give her 2 dollars, a nickle and a penny..... and they blankly stare at the change wondering why........ you say, "just key it into the register".......... they do, and are completely amazed.
(** you get back a quarter**)

Any more I sometimes think it would be easier, in a fast food place, to yell. "I'm with the INS" and then help yourself after the place clears.

When I worked at Burger King way back in the stone age, our cash registers only displayed the total.
We were unable to enter the amount tendered into the register so it couldn't tell you what to give in change.
We had to learn how to count change, and count it back as we handed it to the customer. I also had to do that at a liquor store I worked at in college. Old cash register.
When is the last time anyone's had a cashier count your change as they had it back to you?
I always just get handed a wad of money- hopefully it equals what I'm supposed to get. I can do this math very quickly in my head- and I know how much to expect back. This has saved me several times from geting the wrong change, and several other times I got too much, but the idiot didn't know how to fix it.
Just stared blankly into their happy place.

ALL THE FRIGGIN TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I often quiz my boys when this happens to make sure they grasp the concept as I'd have a tough time thinking they were the ones on the other end with the blank stare. My wife rolls here eyes at my need to consolidate my change when such transactions occur but I can't help it, it's who I am!! I have to wonder if computers and calculators have added to the softeneing of people's ability to add in their head.
