When we went up to pay, the line was unexpectedly long. It seems that the computerized cash register had gone down, & the cashier could not simply scan in the 20% coupon to give the magical,discounted check amount.She then tried a calculator, but the battery was down. The manager came, & we thought that HE'D be able to figure out the math! But...nooooo!<br />He, too, attempted to use yet another non-working calculator.<br />So, like Blanche DuBois, he had to "depend on the kindness (or, in this case, math skills & honesty) of strangers," taking his chances that the customers could correctly figure out their own tabs.Cara Boutkidsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-20363718095790800842011-09-19T23:09:33.187-04:002011-09-19T23:09:33.187-04:00Amen!Amen!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727049381343668364noreply@blogger.com
