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.

Umm . . .  How did you pay for your groceries?  How did the person
behind you pay for their groceries?  I'm surprised retailers still
accept cash. There are so few people that pay with cash these days,
it's hardly worth the risk and time (eg. safely/securely transporting
cash to/from store, balancing tills, etc.).

Money has become an abstract construct that little to do with
reality.  And we've become poorer as we've lost touch with the value
of cold, hard cash.
