Making change is a lost art in retail.
 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.

Did the supervisor actually know how?  Or did the supervisor reverse the transaction and enter it correctly so the machine calculated the change?   Just curious.  I've seen a few situations like that where all they did was enter their supervisor code, clear out the original transaction and do it over again.  The clerks don't have the authorization to do that.
