I know a place that ONLY gives change in two dollar bills.
A fine establishment off exit 10 Maine Turnpike.
Riverside Street. They used to have a coffee shop.
Used to be exit 10.
Did my good deed by helping some nice girls pay for college too.

Some of the people I see working behind cash registers anywhere?
I'm amazed they can even remember how to find their way back to work every day.

Thats a great story and to think those guys are going to mate and have little Morons of there own. thats why they are working fast food and not a real job.

The issue with cashiers and change is simply an age thing. Unless we ban calculators and computers or seriously overhaul the education system it's not going to change. At 28 years old I'm right at the edge of it. I rarely have a reason to do math in my head or on paper. I can't remember when I didn't have my own computer. Calculators are everywhere there's a cellphone or a Blackberry. I'm not going to do math manually if I don't have to, it's just a waste of time imo. MS Money balances my checkbook. Convert metric to standard? www.onlineconversion.com Pay with cash? I just use my checkcard. Cash money might be obsolete sooner rather then later as online banking and e-commerce continue to develop.

Kids just grow up with so much electronics these days math skills just aren't used that often. Of course these same math weak but computer saavy kids make can make serious money with the math they can make computers do so it all balances out. Of course, some of the fast food rejects can't do either. They're in BIG trouble...

I`m an old bastage now but the clubs I used to visit on a rare ocassion would give change in two dollar bills always when they could... this way you weren`t popping ones into house G strings unless you brought a pile with you.

I used to go out of my way to get a handful of $2 bills before going to a strip bar because in the dim lighting while propped up on the edge of the dance floor the dancers think they're $20's and get all over ya!

Bingo. The register tells them how much change to give. When you throw in the 11 cents after they're rung up that you gave 'em a 20, then they have to think for themselves

Great story, what an idiot...
