I worry about our future, who will look after me when I'm old and senile?

I just bought a pizza. The teller rang it in and it came out to $15.54. I handed her a $20 and then found I had 4 cents so I handed it to her. Unfortunately she had already rung in the $20 so the display on the till said $4.46. I swear I could hear the IM bell go off in her head and her eye balls were spinning. It says $4.46 and you handed me 4 cents.

Luckily there was experienced help on hand so she called her over to make meaning of the world. Her coworker confidently walked over and closed the till drawer. She then rang in the order and it came out as $14.11 and not $15.54. Bonus for me. With distaste the original teller handed me back my 4 cents and like magic I changed it into 11 cents and handed it to Miss Experience. She smiled and handed me back a $10.

Stupid me I shook my head and told her that she only owed me $6 and handed the $10 back. She counted out the $6 and then asked if I gave the original genius a $20. I assured her I had and by this time, I'm sorry but the tip was just not going to happen. I walked out the door got in my car and the store manager comes running out waving his arms at me asking if I paid.

I guess all the math students are working at the donut shops.
