Her hand is in the change drawer picking up coins, then thinking twice and putting them back. I think she is about to hyperventilate. The man eventually tells her 14 cents...

Who prefers four pennies and a dime to three quarters?

Its easy to blame her if youre dealing with change and numbers all day long, the mind gets fatigued and foggy,

and they rely on the register so much amd are under pressure to be quick and keep the line moving , amd dont want to giveout too much money, so.they are too cautious

Overall i dont think ppls math skills are emphasized enough in schools

I blame parents of these 20 yr olds , its your own responsibility to teach your kids right from wrong and not the govt or the schools
