this morning at grocery store my bill was $10.20.
i gave the cashier $20.20
she was clueless .
even after she punched in that she had received $20.20 and i was to get $10 back.

she was puzzled for a long time. i was exasperasted. lady behind me gave a sigh that was very audible

there should be a course given in middle and high school for checkbook balancing, change giving, credit card use, how to write a check, how to write your name, how to change a light bulb, how to put toilet paper on the dispenser, how to load and unload the dishwasher................oh god....sorry i am getting carried away.
