Was tempted to post this on the sales thread but thought it deserved a thread of its own.
Took a train on Sunday out to the sticks to spend some time with the folks.
Man came by with the refreshment trolley so I bought two coffees and a still water. The bloke had to use a calculator to work out how much I owed - FFS three items - two of them identical - and he still had to use a calculator to work out the total.
I could go into a rant about the poor mathematical skills of the youth of today but he was no spring chicken. What are these companies doing employing people without basic maths skills to do a cash handling job?
What is this country coming to? Grrr
