I had lunch at a local restaurant and the bill was $15.00 and change. I gave the woman at the register a $100.00 bill. The change should have been $84.00+ but I was given $64.00+ .... shortchanged by $20.00. Bringing this to the attention of the cashier, I was told the amount of change I received was correct. That's what the computer in the register said. I asked her to do the math, to subtract $85.00 from $100.00. She looked at me like I was from outer space, and insisted that the computer was right. She either could not do the math (a likely probability) or believed whatever "the computer" told her (also a strong possibility). We had to call the restaurant manager to get the math right and for me to get the correct change. Sheesh!
