rc- years ago at the local mall, the "juice" stand cash register had a problem. the high-school age gal said to her coworker in almost a panicked voice "so how am I supposed to figure how much change to give them?".
my son who was I think in 5th grade at the time told her off the top of his head what the amount should be. She looked at him and said "how did you do that?" He said "I used arithmetic. We learned it in school." oooooooh. -Ben > -----Original Message----- > From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, March 25, 2002 6:46 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Math+FastFood > > > So - the wife, rugrat and I go to Sonic yesterday at high noon and get > turned away because... the computers are down and it's going > to take 15+ > minutes to get them back.
