Oh my god that is annoying!
Teenager: "That'll be 11.53"
Me: <Hands her[1] a ten and a five>
Me: <waiting for 3.47>
teenager: <pressing buttons pressing buttons>
Me: <still waiting>
Me: "Um... forty-seven? Um..no, three forty-seven. THREE. Yes.
Forty-seven. See? right there. A five. Yes... minus 1.53."
teenager: <more buttons>
Me: "Okay. Thank you."
sheesh.
I used to work with this Old Guy(TM) who *never* touched the register
except to put money in and take it out. Just pressed the big "Open
Drawer" button. And was quick as a <insert good "quicknes" simile here>
doing it, too. I happened to *be* a teenager at the time.
Ah, well, I'm rambling now. Quick tie-in. That "Old Guy" story happened
before HTML really existed in the wild. 1988. Allright, I really am
rambling now.
[1] It always seems to be teenage *girls*[2] that I have to deal with in
this capacity.
[2] Sike. Just being sexist. Teenage boys are just as bad.
