Remember the $2 bills?
Hand out a few of those & see what happens.
I haven't tried a Susan B. Anthony dollar yet.
Laser month I was making a small purchase at the dollar store. It came to $3.15. I gave the young lady cashier 13 quarters, and said here’s $3.25. She stared at the coins, and asked me if she was supposed to count it. I said, well yes. She had to call for a manager to count it. She is the product of the public schools.
HA, I've a good friend who goes to the bank and gets a roll or two Susan Bs, or the indian dollar coins whenever he is going to travel. He LOVES to give those things out and gets priceless looks from almost everyone. Most think he is scamming them. He does $2 bills also. Same results.
I usually hand change and I do my best to try and make it correct change for whatever I'm buying. If it is a dime or a nickel over, I usually have ti tell them what I'm doing......

Went into a Burger King last week and got a Centennial Kennedy half dollar because the kid running the register did not know what he had. He had some gold coins too? They were Sacagawea dollars I left them. I like giving them the pennys it blows their mind.... $5.08 give them $5.03.

Somehow or another, I ended up with several dollars worth of modern/sandwich post '65 coin Kennedy 1/2 dollars.
Almost every time I spent a couple, the cashier would smile, take a dollar out of their pocket for the register,
and keep the coins.

Long before millenials ,young people couldnt do the 3Rs ......we used to employ young men at sandblasting,and they had to allot a time to each job...($200/hr way back when) ,anyway ,none could tell the time ,and we used to buy the 12" dia. battery clocks by the carton,each blaster had to copy the clock hands onto the job sheet for each job.......and back in the 80s ,at least half couldnt write ,and a fair number couldnt read more than a few words (easy ones)......thats 40 years ago.
Watch what happens when you give them cash, say $50 for a $46.25 purchase and they punch it in the register , then you go, "Oh , Wait, here is a quarter" and give it to them. You can just see the glazed look in their eyes and they just lock up.
One time I tried that, the young gal just looked at them and said,"OK, you get $4 back then.". She just smiled and said " I majored in math." I was impressed.

Nothing new, about 10 years ago I was in line behind a guy who found the change after he had handed the cashier bills. When he said, "Here, I have the change." the cashier's response was; "I can't do that. I already runged it up"

I was at the bagel shop and asked for a half pound of cream cheese along with the bagels. The reply? "...I'm sorry sir....all we have are the 8 ounce sizes".

Don't get me started.
I used to be on the board of our local credit union. Not long ago I went in to transact some business and the very young girl behind the counter was new to me. There was some writing involved in whatever I was doing and when I handed the paperwork to her, her face went blank. She told me, and I quote, "that looks like chicken scratching to me, I can't read any of it." Now, I have a very tidy handwriting and have been complimented on it all my life so I was taken aback. I asked the young lady what she couldn't read and she said none of it, "we weren't taught to read or write cursive" Had to have been an imported college student from some city somewhere because they still teach it locally. She got one of the other girls and we finished up. Next time I was in she was no longer there....and I had nothing to do with her being fired but she had no business working there. I often wonder how her math skills were?

She will be fine ... she has a " Smart Phone " ... it will get them all through life ... maybe .
Ive lived 72 years and my dad lived 98 years without ever needing a smart phone ...
I think that's a good thing ... I feel sorry for what's happenening to our children and grandchildren .
