Had the same thing happen to me years ago at Mcdonalds.The register read $5.40,so i gave the guy $10.40.The next thing i knew i was looking at a deer paralyzed by headlights.Years ago you went to the supermarket the cashier had to put all the prices in manually and figure out your total with coupons,and gave you correct change.They were faster then,than they are now with the scanners.How about at the track when they had that automatic pencil that posted the result and then the clerk put in the little window.He or she had to figure you're total in there head or on a piece of paper.
