Love this!

I’ve worked in settings where if the power went down or the computerized cash register failed, 99% of the employees were lost. They couldn’t add up a person’s purchase, calculate sales tax, and figure change back without a machine doing it for them. I also landed a job in a motel when, during the interview, I was asked some math questions such as “the standard rate is $59.99 plus tax for one person and $5 for each additional adult. We give a 15% discount for seniors. What would the total charge be for a party with two adults using a senior discount?”. I was given a calculator but was messing up using it, so I asked if he mined if I did it with pecil & paper. When I was done, I was told not only was he imposed that I *could* do it on paper; I’d done it faster that way than anyone he’d seen do it using a calculator.
