I love things to come out even so if something is $15.75 I will often give the cashier $20.75. They try to give my back the 75 cents because it is too much. They don't understand. I sometimes have the exact change on the counter while they are adding things and price checking and then look at me funny when they count it and it is right.

When our daughter was in school I helped in the class and was upset with the way math was being taught. I even wrote to the superintendent of schools about it. They jumped around like crazy and never mastered anything. I was told it was a better way so they would not get bored learning times tables, etc. Well now we have the result of that experiment working in the stores. They can't add or subtract without a machine.
