Wash ,'Bushwhacked'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
The bill was $7.57. I handed the clerk $20.57. She typed into the register that I'd given her $200.57 and she couldn't figure out how much change to give me. It was painful.
I can't tell you how many times I've had a clerk call me for help with this same question. As if somehow the register will know that you didn't put in a hundred and give change for it.
OMG, I miss good Challah. I used to live five minutes from two kosher bakeries and this is what I miss most about living up here.
I just got an email from one of my students informing me that "we HAVE to be allowed to use calculators on this test." Um, no.
Sometimes I think about you and Vortex and I despair for the youth of America.
But then on the flip side there's also the K-Bug's of the world so not all college students are ignorant and entitled.
But... but... how will they know that $20.57 minus $7.57 is $13, Hil?
To cite a random example.
What she actually wants to use is a graphing calculator. We're doing polar coordinates, which are a bit tricky to graph, but I've done some examples in class and gone over the general method several times.
You should e-mail back and tell her that it sucks to be her.
Every once in a while I will throw what appears to the clerk to be random amounts of change, to get it to 25, 50 or 75 cents on the dollar.
You'd think I invented fire from some of their responses.
Oy. An ultra-Orthodox newspaper in Israel published a photo of the new Cabinet, but photoshopped it to remove the women. (From what I know, standard practice in those papers is putting a black box over any women that can't be cropped out, because they think that it's a violation of women's modesty to print pictures of them. But photoshopping to make it look like they weren't there in the first place is new.) [link]

I once totally astonished a clerk by giving him a twenty and two singles when the total was $17.
