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.

I find it hard to comprehend that somebody, anybody,
doesn't teach people how to count change back when
not given the correct change or their cash register
is down.  It only takes once or twice practicing
to learn how to count the change back.

 
Teach people a useful skill like counting back change?  Naw, that's too
old fashioned.  There's probably a phone app for that, though. ;)

how to do the things they mare writing the app for.
