An addendum to my prior Olympic post. Need to add Bob Costas to the ‘looks bad in high def’ list as well.
I mean, aren’t these guys getting any feedback from the producers? Professional TV guys shouldn’t look like the Joker just tampered with the city’s make-up supply, ya know?
Ok now kids, this one is kind of important. I’m really tired of you looking like complete incompetent morons when giving back change. It’s really very very simple.
First, the cash drawer setup.
Your drawer should be configured thusly: (from left to right) In the coin cubbies:
- Pennies
- Nickles
- Dimes
- Quarters
If you have 1 or 2 extra cubbies, use them for rubber bands or paper clips. Now the cash:
- Ones
- Fives
- Tens
- Twenties
Again, if you have extra slots, use it for credit card vouchers, coupons or checks. Bills larger than a $20 ALWAYS go under the drawer.
Now, when it comes time to give me, the customer, my change, you have to start by looking at the amount due. Let’s say that I purchase $17.37 worth of goods and give you a twenty.
STOP! Do not subtract! That takes too long and really, you aren’t that good at math. The object here is to work UP to that twenty, your goal to be to get to the next largest denomination until you reach your target. Using the example above:
- 3 pennies to get to next dime
- 1 dime to get to next quarter (.50 = .25×2)
- 2 quarters to get to the next dollar
- 2 dollars to get to the twenty
Get it? No? Ok, here is one more example. I just bought $2.12 worth of stuff and gave you a twenty:
- 3 pennies to get to the nickle (.15)
- 1 dime to get to the quarter (.25)
- 3 quarters to get to the dollar
- 2 dollars to get to the five
- 1 five to get to the ten
- 1 ten to get to the twenty
Simple right? Ok, now just do it! I mean, really, you high school kids picking through the drawer and the local fast food look like idiots and it is really starting to bother me. It’s not that hard!
Do you know someone that has change counting issues? Send them here and I’ll take care of them.
Thank you, as always, for you time.
Started today. Some quick notes…
- I find it odd to watch something on television that happened 9 hours ago.
For example, the opening cermonies happened at 9:00PM PST (GMT -8) which is 6:00AM in Italy (GMT+1). Everyone is already eating breakfast or practicing or whatever they do.
- Winter Olympics = Skates with blades, Summer Games = skates with wheels
Doesn’t that just make more sense?
- Jim Lampley + brilliant high definition = a face only a mother could love
Yo, homeboy. You should have taken a few extra minutes in the make-up trailer. I’m just sayin…
- Bode Miller looks crazy and I can’t wait to see him ski
- I hope they give some screen time to curling
- At age 25, is Michele Qwan too old?
- Please please please lets all hope the U.S. Hockey team doesn’t completely suck
Watch for more exiting insight at the games continue!
I have completely failed the two most important aspects of my life.
The one you get to hear about is teh lad. It is official as of today. He will not be continuing on to be a freshman in high school.
Yes he has failed on purpose.
No I don’t know why, and he won’t tell me.
Yes, I’m sure he won’t be able to recover. Of his 6 classes, he is failing 4 of them. Not a D-, F.
And, of course, since I’m the parent, it’s instantly my fault.
Does’t matter I make sure he has clean clothes and food. Or a roof. Or lunch money. Or that I actually check to make sure his homework is done. Nope, none of that matters.
He’s failing and it’s my fault.
My fault he doesn’t turn in his homework. My fault he doesn’t do his class work and turn it in. My fault he doesn’t tell me when tests are so I can help him study.
Yea, I’m a horrible parent.
Just about par for the course for today. I’m just fucking up right and left lately. Someone just shoot me now and put me out of everyone else’s misery.
Or at least the way I see it….
Why did the overstock.com commercial have the international symbol for handicap in the lower right corner at the end?
Pepsi commercials or Strong Bad Email. You decide.
You think Mick is tired of singing Start me up yet? If it were me I’d be all, “you’re f’ing kidding me right? man, if I have to sing that song one more time heads are gonna roll!”
It wasn’t a touchdown. The ball was totally on the wrong side of the line.
Those Sprint phones must be seriously hefty if you can use it to bonk someone’s skull and they fall over. No way I’m gonna carry a brick like that on my hip!
Finally, a note to Budweiser. Bring back the frogs. The uber violent commercials don’t make me want to drink beer. Neither did seeing everyone tearing an office apart looking for budlight like it was treasure. C’mon now, the beer just isn’t. That. Good. Stop it.
More after the game…
