Counting Change!!!!!!!We are losing so many simple everyday things in this world. I noticed today how hard it was for a young man at McDonalds to figure out change. My meal was $8.19. I gave him $20.19. and it took him two minutes to give me back $12.00 and then he just handed it back to me. Hardly anyone counts your change back to you anymore!

Used to be a scammer chick at the corner store that always gave you charge for a ten when you gave her a 20.

Doing sums in your head.
Quoted a guy 425 to do one job and toss in the other one for 250. He whips out his phone to do the math. And this was a grown man! Must not of done very well in the speed math quizzes in elementary school. Do they even do those anymore? We did them in the mid 90s

I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Meanwhile, those younger people are bemoaning that the older generation doesn’t know of or know how to use Venmo/PayPal/etc. Any guesses if cash or digital payment methods will last into the future?

As a single parent I'd send one or both of my daughter's to the local grocery store for whatever milk , ice cream or bread with a $ 20.00 or a $ 50.00 bill once and I'd instruct them to get a receipt . When they returned home I'd make them count back my change which I'd try to turn it into a fun game I'd be surprised if many of their classmates know how to count change .

Scott I was at a farmers market two weeks ago they deal in cash all morning every week I forget what my total was but he gave me back 3-4 dollars more than he should have , I did the math for him and handed him back the extra , he thanked me for being so honest. my great aunt taught us to count back change at great grandpas store that she ran till she retired speaking of things no-one seems to use or understand anymore my don was telling his class back in the spring about this fishing trip we were taking when he said plan was get out the gazetteer and pick a spot that looked good and go fishing where ever we pleased. not one of them knew what a gazetteer was including he teacher who is about 35 he had to explain a gazetteer to his class and teacher. when the kids were still in booster seats we would pass the gazetteer to the back seat and point to where we where and where we were going and let them give the directions and later a compass and tell them what road we were on and let them figure where we were from other road sings.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I noticed it alot in philippines scott in grocery store....younger generationl We werent allowed calculators. Cashier was stumbling figuring my change and I said 18 cents change. She said wow sir you"re very good in math. I said everybody my age does this. When I was younger , calculators were just starting to get popular. My mother was a bookkeeper. She refused to let my brother and I to use calculators , we had to do the math on paper or in our heads. I hated it at the time. Very glad now however , can do math in a jiffy in my head. Mom always knows best.
