Costa Cat Farts...

I was at Costa yesterday morning:

===start synopsis

Coffee girl: That'll be £5.45.

I give her £20.45.

She gives me £15.55.

I hand her the 55p back.

Coffee girl: Oh wait it should be...uh...50...uh...

Me: I think you're ok.

Coffee girl: uh...um...(waves hand)...oh whatever

I do this: ***Ben bangs head on table twice***

/End synopsis.

Is this the norm?..

Modern till do so much that sales staff are no longer taught how to make change.

I used to be great at addition when I worked with a basic till. Sadly I've lost some of that but it would return with a little practice.

But I can still flummox a lots of sales staff by working out the amount before the till does and giving the the right coins to get the best change back to(I don't want a purse full of change if I can help it).

I overheard to guys sat at a table once talking about what 32/100 is as a percentage.

Have you seen the clip on YouTube where a math university student is asked by her bf in a car 'if we are travelling at 40mph how long would it take us to go 40 miles?'

She started trying to work it out and got really cross with him when he kept saying it would be an hour lol

In her defence she was very sleep deprives but it's still funny as fuck

A few months ago, I bought 4 items from a chip shop, (2 of which were £1 each). I'd already added them up when I got to the till. The assistant tried to overcharge me so I said that's not right, she came back with a lower figure that was still wrong. I started to go through the figures, but as soon as she was faced with some basic mental arithmetic she panicked and accepted I was right.

I'm not as quick as some, but I get there in the end

Hate to say it but as soon as calculators came into the classrooms, basic maths went out the window in most cases

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I don't understand the thread title.

I do find it frustrating when people don't understand how to make change when it's their job.

Reminds me of some footage from a few years back where graduates from M.I.T., including biology graduates and post docs, were asked where the bulk of the weight of plants come from. Now to be fair you don't know what got left in the editing suite but as presented none of them could work out that it was a combination of water drawn from the soil and carbon taken from the air. Some of them still couldn't believe it even after they had been given the correct answer.

Even with the very simple childhood knowledge that dead, dry leaves are lighter than fresh, green leaves?

They generally seemed OK with the water but seemed to want the solid mater to have come from the soil.
