DizRotus Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Thanks for refreshing my geriatric brain Emil @EmilC. Your post is humorous, but true. The notion that all high school students should aspire to college is absurd. One of my best high school teachers lectured our AP physics class on the very topic. Of course, he was playing devil’s advocate, but he wanted that college bound group to think and say, “yes, but . . . “ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once bought (not at a dollar store) 6 feet of chain at $1.03 a foot, and the checkout clerk had to enter $1.03 six times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, while he might not have been the brightest person I've ever met, at least he had a job and was presumably providing for himself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Ciphering always good for a cashier. Close enough for government work also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 They must not pay enough here. Cashier said 20 something, I said thanks and while proceeding to pay with card, 30 something flashed on screen. Told her and she grabbed my arm friendly like, stopping the transaction. She avoids me now. Wow, 10 per customer, 300,000 per year. Should have become a cashier. Live and learn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
