I was in the checkout line of a store today and a woman bought a few
things that totaled $5.34.  She handed him a $10 bill.  The problem is,
he hit receiving exact change in error and did not know how to give her
change.  Had to call over a supervisor to do this complex monetary
transaction.

The ability to count change is not relevant in our modern society. It's
mostly seen as coddling to the doltish old farts endured by the cashiers
just trying to do their job. The irony is that handling cash is one of
the least attractive aspects of being a cashier. I won't touch the stuff
myself.
