I have been stopping at the same place every day ( Mon-Fri) for going on 7 years now for a 32oz cup of tea. It costs .98 cents. Every time there is a new cashier, they ask if I want my pennies after I give them my dollar. Yes! I want my pennies!! Dammit! They use a touch screen with a change dispenser, yet they always ask.
The regular employees there know me, and just do their job, and give me my change, and all is well.
Well, today, I stopped for my drink, and decided I wanted some candy with my tea. The 'new guy' asked if I wanted my change!! It was .32 cents!! I lost my mind, demanded to see the manager, held up the line, and had a fit!!
Then, on the way home, after a stop at the grocery store (where we were given change without question) we had to stop at a convenience store because we forgot Mrs. B.'s Sprite.

I'll give you one guess about what the bed-headed punk at the cash register asked me!!

Trying to find my happy place, I said "Yeah, but I forgot something, and you can add it to that." He said Ok.

So I went and grabbed a 6 pack of Coors Lite, and handed him a 50 dollar bill. 15 minutes later, I left with my purchases, and correct change leaving behind a completely discombulated chastised dumbass.

We live in a country of young dumbasses!!
Is there any hope?

Pennies Become Dimes

I h**e to tell you Archie, but the more I interact with young people in business the less hope I have. I don't know who raised them, but by and large they seem to have been brought up with a unique combination of entitlement, stupidity and poor manners.

Fortunately there are in fact some that have a strong commitment to community, education and treating others as they would like to be treated. There just aren't enough of them and they seem to be nowhere to be seen in businesses here in SF.

I have the same problem sometimes. I am a tea drinker and at a restaurant with a waitress who doesn't know me I get an odd look when I ask for tea then they try to refill my cup with coffee. Sometimes the cashiers don't give me my 2 cents change and I want it. I save pennys. I have workers who get to me. I tell them to do this this and this then something that obviously needed done is not done and I get "You didn't tell me to do that" I boil it down to comprehension problems. I***ts every where you turn there are i***ts. There now I feel better.

Yes - robots will take over as cashiers. Then, when the robot asks " do you want your change? ", you'll have to record your complaint. That way, no tender dumbasses will have their wittle feewings hurt.

I am always amused watching folks try to figure out HOW to make change, even though the machine tells them how much. To older folks, making $0.58 change can be done blindfolded, but younger folks have to try and add the coins in their head, "lets see, 2 quarters makes 50 cents, so 8 penny's? No, a dime, no that's 60 cents, ah a nickel, that's 55 cents, so 3 penny's? ok 50 + 5 + 3 =58 - yeah! 2 quarters and nickel and 3 penny's"

"now, would you like your change sir?"

popparod Loc: Somewhere else.

That really gripes me too, Archie. Another thing that gets my goat is when young people just shove your change and your receipt back at you in one lump and get irritated when you hold up the line to count your change.
Embarrassed my wife recently when the checkout cashier who was obviously proud of her 2 inch nails was having trouble making change and I told her my wife had long nails like that when my daughter got married and said it was hard to wipe her a$$. I asked the clerk to just lay my change down on the counter right there.

Getting back to stupid people; They cause a lot of damage and hurt people. I am removeing and replacing a brand new roof on a good sized house. A widow woman bought a house in a gated community next to her brothers house. one of the things that attracted her was a brand new roof.. Turns out the previous owner hired a 20 year old and had him roof the house. It looks good but leaked all over this winter. The poor woman has no recourse. The insurance company is paying for interior damage and for the tarps I put over leaking areas but this poor lady is out $13.000 for a new roof. A warning do not use an unlicensed contractor ever for any thing. Don't try to save a buck when you are over your head; If it is beyond you don't attempt it.
