Sometimes, peoples’ lack of maths skills amaze me.
I was at the airport the other night, buying some stuff.
Total cost $41.35.
Gave the old bloke $60 (3 x $20).
I received $28.65 change, a “bonus” of $10.
Spent the next five minutes arguing with the old bloke, that he was short-changing himself $10.
Now some people might say “… serves him right, keep the extra $10.”
But the thought of the poor bloke having to make up cash from his wage stopped me doing that.
Andy Blume, over at Spatula City, wrote about something similar in his post: It’s French For ""Go away"".
