Today I made a purchase at KFC, handing the cashier $25.00 of a bill of $21.81. She punched in the wrong amount and had no clue how to make change. She asked another employee what to do,and she also had no idea. They went to find a calculator.
OT: I fear for this country

I might have mentioned it before, but a year or two ago, I called in an order to Primo Hoagies. I tried ordering a two foot Italian sub, and the girl on the phone said "I'm sorry, the only sizes we carry are 6 inches, 9 inches, and 24 inches". I changed my order to a 24 inch Italian sub, and all was good.

I feel that way every time I read an @ThePennsyOracle post.Stupidity is what we’re up against.
They really were dense if they didn't realize they have a calculator on their phone. You know, the thing that made them dense to begin with.

Several years ago, just prior to leaving on vacation, I went into a CVS looking for a road atlas or map. I still like to look at a map before I drive somewhere I have never been before. I asked the young girl working there where I could find a road atlas. I knew they used to carry them in the section where they had magazines. She looked at me like I was from outer space. I had to explain to her what a road atlas was and her response was, “Don’t you have GPS? Now, this mostly speaks to the age gap between her and I, but she really had no idea what a road atlas/map was.
Fundamental education (3 are) is in free fall. Chinese are waiting to move in…could be closer than everyone thinks.
And you ordered subs at a hoagie shop… it’s a miracle you got anything
So, what does this say about Kotelnicki? The guy calls 3 consecutive run plays smack into the middle of a defensive line that had basically whipped Penn State’s OL all day. Not very smart!
If your order was $15.06, hand them a $20. They ring it, then hand them 6 more cents and watch the hilarity.

I read your post on my phone. I don’t get it.
or if you only have the $20, a dime, and a penny.
Went into Publix and asked the young lady for 3/4 of a pound of roast beef. At least she confirmed, "0.75, right?"
Interesting. I have always loved maps for a variety of reasons, but with having GPS mostly, like you, to have a better perspective. My wife will say "why do you look at those, we have GPS". I remind her that GPS is sometimes flawed, and that I find it both interesting and occasionally quite beneficial to take a look at things ahead of time.
This conversation gets repeated every time we drive 50 miles or more (and she's just a few years younger than me).

Just hand them the $20.06 from the start and wait for the “you gave me too much”.
I'm still waiting to order anything at a supermarket deli counter and not be told "It's a little over, is that alright".
I get that too, and I'm usually OK with it, unless it's really egregiously over. I get that they can't get it exactly right on the nose. Although, the gal at Publix did hit my 3/4 (or 0.75 if you prefer) right on the nose, the first time, last week. She was so proud of herself, she reminded me of these football players that want to celebrate after every successful play.
I seriously thought this thread was political with the mention of PSU wrestling today at a rally. Thanks for the laughs. Local TV has been unwatchable in PA for the past 3 months with the effing commercials every 3 minutes.

You can always look at the map on your phone’s GPS…it can be expanded and you can drill down as necessary
My Dad often said, "100 is the mean and median of the general public's IQ... therefore, half the people you meet in life will have a double digit IQ"..
I hope she didn’t wrap up your order then spike it into the floor. That would be a bridge too far, IMO.I get that too, and I'm usually OK with it, unless it's really egregiously over.

I went through the drive thru at Dairy Queen this summer. I ordered a dozen Buster Bars. Three times I said- A dozen. Finally, I sighed and said... Twelve. The girl said, "Ohhhhhhh twelve, OK!"
Many years ago I ordered a small Coke at the local Arbey's. Girl says "We don't have small, only medium, large, and super size."

Spoken by ones that have never worked in a deli for minimum wage and would be pi$$ed if they received less than a whole slice to hit the mark.
No girl ever said that about me!
I get that too, but I don't mind. Most rational people wouldn't care if they get and extra .05 pound since it's hard to hit the requested weight on the nose. OTOH, I've seen some real jerkoffs at the deli counter. If the weight is very slightly under the request, they say add another slice. If it's slightly over, they want a slice taken off. Customer service workers deal with unreasonable people every day so I can understand asking, "It's a little over. Is that alright??" If they don't, the unreasonable customer could accuse them of trying to pull a fast one as if that extra 25 cents they pay will ruin them financially.

How did they all end up on this message board though?
Ok I am going to use this thread to state my position on something.....related to the subject matter....
I am not sure why that kid at Beaver Stadium felt he could simply say anything he wanted about Kelce's brother (I forget which one is which)......but he was looking for a reaction......and he got it. It was a visceral reaction. It was unfortunte the way it ended for him and who knows what the next step may be (kid files a lawsuit, who knows). I have no qualms with how Kelce handled it. Frankly, I would have done the same. You don't have a right to be verbally abusive, and you especially shouldn't be surprised when you get a visceral reaction.
I am sure there is a thread on this somewhere, but....I am using this thread to state my position.

TBH, I don't know why the kid would say anything in the first place. Sure, to get a reaction but why?? Did Kelce steal his lunch money or something?? He was just a guy at the stadium promoting a business venture. It happens all the time. Drunk people yell stupid stuff at opposing fans but that's not what Kelce was. Maybe the kid has some deep-seated jealousy about the success achieved by the Kelce brothers. Maybe the kid is just an a$shole. But I agree. He deserved what he got.
you should have handed them one of these.

Most people - not us - just do not think anymore.
Driving, talking, walking - you name it, they are just dumb and never say 'excuse me' or 'thank you'. Too many times down here, the Northern Seasonal visitors ignore you and go about their way.
I was taught - Manners- unfortunately, many just do not care.
