Now, if they can't count to make change, how do you expect them to know that 15 is more than 10?

Is it me or are people losing the ability to make change? Is basic math really becoming that difficult?

My daughter, who is 25, cannot calculate tips when we go to dinner. She can't even understand that figuring out 20% of $35 using her phone's calculator is done by the key strokes "35 x 0.2 =" Rather, she uses an app where she can type in "35", then push a button that has "20%" on it. It's sad.

The bill comes, I look down and printed on the bottom of the receipt, in great detail, is how much 15%, 20%, and 25%, of the total is for tipping purposes. The upscale clientele that they cater to must also have basic math issues. P.S. I'm not upscale-my wife is. ![]()

I've seen this on checks before. And it was wrong (closer to 18-23-28%).

LOL. Well the restaurant I was at had the numbers right.

Really don't care what they put on the bottom. I leave what I choose to leave and it all depends on the quality of service and food.
And in my area, some places have gotten to the point of automatically adding 18% WITHOUT notification or permission. I have no problem warning others and I will make sure they know that I will not be returning.

rant When I worked for Southland, I kept a 7-Eleven open during a power outage and no one could figure out how I could do such a thing without power to operate the cash register. People were having a hard time comprehending my ability to do simple math without a machine and that is simply pitiful. I have run into dozens of situations from a college grad WORKING IN THE SPORTS ARENA TICKET OFFICE who could not figure out the change from a $100 bill for a $77 purchase WITH an adding machine to a banker not being able to make change at his daughter's girl scout cookie table at a fair. Everyone wants to blame cheap slave labor abroad for the USA's employment issues when in many cases it is simply the lack of qualified people willing to actually work for a living. It is a sad state when the most common answer from our young people of the simplest questions is "Uh?" /rant
