No, but I would donate to the "People who need a computer in order to count change." Foundation.

Actually had people try this crap on us when I worked in the business. Believe me was NOT funny. You will not believe what some
heads try to get away with.

I was at a fast food place where the cash register showed the employee what change to give so if the food amount was $10.54 and the customer paid with a $20 bill, the employee would enter $20 and cash register would show pictures of a $5 bill, 4 $1 bills, a quarter, 2 dimes and a penny to be returned in change. I’m no math genius, but I could be a Fields medal winner compared to today’s youth. I’m sure these registers are especially helpful for ESL employees. I also was at a grocery store once and when the total came up I told the checker the amount wasn’t right. She rechecked and I was right. She asked how I knew and I told her I could round amounts and add them in my head to get a “close enough” total, which seemed to amaze her.

I was getting lunch one day and the total was $10.25 or something like that
I had just hit the ATM and only had 20's
I handed the young lady a 20, then remembered that I had some coins in my pocket and asked her to wait. Needless to say, she hit the $20 button and started freaking the heck out because she couldn't do the math!
I tried to tell her to just give me $10 back, but she wasn't trusting me, LOL! She had to call the manager over to confirm that I was telling her the truth!
I also had a customer that would count the change back to HER customers. When I commented that that was a long lost habit, she said that that's how she learned way back when and just kept it up
