I went to a soft play area this am and we stayed for lunch
all drinks, food, crisps etc are price ranged at 50p or £1.00 or £1.50 or £2.00
simple to work out,you would have thought
he wrote the order down and it looked like this
2 sandwiches @ £2 each = 4.00
tea 1.00
kids drink .50
3 crisps @ .50 each 1.50
2 banana @.50p each 1.00
apple .50
and he took forever to work it out
I looked at it and managed to work out it was £8.50 and I was reading upside down
then said it came to £ 9.00
i said no it was £8.50 and he disagreed
he counted again and said it was £9,00 - i said no it was £8.50 and in the end the manager came out (who was pratically still in nappys ) - who looked at it, and agreed it was £9.00 so also couldnt work it out
and eventually did it on the calculater on my phone
and yes it was £8.50
so
aibu to expect a prob 18/20yr to be able to work out simple sums - esp if they are on the till?
