My favorite story is about a local shopkeeper's son, about 14-15 years old, who was working the register in his father's store. I bought something for $1.50, and gave him two $1 bills, and he punched $20.00 into the register and gave me $18.50 change. When I questioned him, he replied "The computer said."
Why should this surprise you when the President of the United States does not know Puerto Ricans are United States citizens, the Kansas City Chiefs play in Kansas City, Missouri, or the difference between the second article and second amendment to the Constitution of the United States?
For what it is worth, I was in a
Cocina the other evening and their 7 year old daughter added up the meal I had eaten, including the sales tax, and very professionally counted out the change to my $20 bill while her 13 year old sister stood by quietly supervising the transaction. The 10 year old daughter was seated at a corner table diligently studying her homework. But then their grandparents had all been immigrants from South of the border.
