Hey guys it's Fronk and I know I'm going to sound old when I say this...but it's the twenty somethings that don't have basic math skillis that are messing up the economy!!! Case in point... I went out ot a local eatery this past weekend (one of those movie & pub places) and I ordered a bowl of clam chowder to enjoy during the movie. When the bill came it read in big bold black magic marker "$4.30", so I gave the waitress a $20 and off she went. A few minutes later she returns with my change of $6. As you are thinking now so was I $6 is not the correct change, so I called her back and asked her to explain. She then points to other side of the bill to show me her math. Let's just forget about the $0.30 you will soon find out that was too much to handle for her...se shows me her math work "20-4=6". So I asked her "What's 20 minus 6?" her response "4", I then asked "Well, what's 10 minus 4?". All I got was a blank look for about 10 seconds and then she says "I'll have to get my manager" as she scurried away. Five minutes go by and the manager returns with the other $10 and his sincere apologies. He shouldn't have been sorry...WE SHOULD ALL FEEL SORRY...THAT'S OUR FUTURE!!!!
