That's really more of an arithmetic skill. I remember when I was working at a pizza place in seventy-*mumble* and we didn't have a reliable register, so we added up orders and calculated tax. Even then it was something that took a little time to "Get Right, Get Fast", but once you did it for a few weeks, it was nothing. I'm MUCH more concerned about people getting college degrees with no more math than "cookbook algebra". THAT is the scary part.jocat54 wrote:...
So sad--but very true, it has always amazed me the number of people who can't make change without a register.
