    The smarter ones will understand your request and try to comply but nothing is obvious to them at all. It all has to be spelled out in a procedure of some sort. There is no room for critical thinking skills.
    Leftist/Democrats?

    Picture the sale....

    I get a bottle that's $14. I had 2 x $2 coins...so...I check to see if I had either a ten or two fives. Nope...just a $20 and some $50's...so...like you would do...I handed over the $20 and the two $2's....

    He was really puzzled...he gave me a $5 bill, one $1 coin and one $2 coin...for $8.00 all up, adding, "You gave me too much." Yeah...short changing me $2 in the process.

    "Dude! Did you go to school???" (He looks...18-ish.)

    The comment from me was entirely appropriate. The two guys behind me grinned and came close to their own face-palms. The guy right behind me said...as I left, "I have exact change." He said it loudly...ready to crack up.

    I am fed up with these beain-dead, stoners. The 50-something asshat that said I didn't need to be rude's probably as stoooopid as the idjit.

    Exactly...

    Since I was a kid...bills go in my left pocket and change in my right pocket. It's EASY here to have $10 or $12 in change seeing as $2 coins are very common.

    Besides...Matt's always running out of coins...and, fivers...so, I try to pay that way.

    Would any of YOU people want a kid like that on YOUR cash register???
