The auctioneer started selling furniture,so,,it was a good time to go get a hotdog and a coffee. The line was a mile long. It didnt really bother me, I Had some great conversations with the people in front and behind me. There was a high school aged girl taking orders.I ordered two hot dogs and a small coffee.Hot dogs were 1,50 each,,small coffee 75 cents. I got the 3.75 out of my pocket.She writes my order down. She then gets the calculator,,adds up the total,,3.75.Then she comes back to me,,says 3.75 please.I give it to her,she puts it in the cash box.Then she looks at the order she wrote and goes to get the stuff.Im not real smart,but it amazes me that young people cant add 1.50 plus 1.50 plus 75 without using a calculator? The girl was not slow,I would never make fun of someone.She ran the buttons on the calculator at lightning speed..lol...I see this a lot of times with young people many places that I go. Its not good in my eyes,,,too much modern stuff,,young people need to learn basics too. Ok,,thats my 02. cents for today!
