I went to the food trucks today to order pizza (now that Walker
has "upgraded" to Pizza Hut pizzas) and gave the pizza guy (the younger
one) $2.10 for a $1.60 slice; the extra $.10 was to make things easier.
He refused to take it, and gave me $.40 change for my $2.
This is the second time he hasn't handled my giving him extra change
to make things "easier". (The first time I gave him $5.35 for a $1.35
slice of pizza and he gave me $3 change.)
So when are they going to start making kids learn "street math" ?
("Jonny walks on to Maple St. and meets Paul, who offers him
10 grams of Spiffer-Upper-Powder for $90.95. Jonny only has a $100
dollar bill. Quickly -- how much change will Jonny get?" :o] :o/ )
