Their computer went out....and the kid was clueless about how to handle a cash transaction. It seems he had never had to count out cash change before.

I had to count it out for him.<br /><br />It seems we are getting more removed from...well, the simple things.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278403041887060649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-88516369294385862362015-05-25T19:40:34.955-04:002015-05-25T19:40:34.955-04:00I used a check the other day because I was buying ...I used a check the other day because I was buying something for the Troop and the boy scout account only has checks. Same thing... kid had no idea how to process it and in the end gave it right back to me with the receipt.
