From an "aquaculture school"?

I think the first requirement for anyone wishing to get into a fish culture program, probably any "farming" type program would be to serve a year in the construction trades learning simple stuff, like how to read a tape measure and cut pipe to length (without forgetting to account for the part that goes into the fitting)

Oh, yes, from the local aquaculture community college program -- you know the one. True story, we used to refer to him as "dumbass". Got to the point he started answering to it. I still don't miss him, and won't hire anyone out of that program again.

You want to see eyes roll back in their haids?

Ask how to share 5 potatoes among 9 people.

Does anyone really expect a McDonald’s cashier to be able to count change?

I don’t. But can’t recall the last time I was there to check.

That’s why registers post the change due, so the children don’t have to think.

This is what happens when you give everyone a diploma whether they know the material or not.

I believe there should be intelligence tests for voting. But then there would be no Democrat Party.


Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

If I was running a McDonald’s, the last thing I would want is some kid at the register to “think”. Just give the the change required on the screen so the register balances at the end of the shift.

True. Why they are moving toward order kiosks.

All they have to do is bag the order and call out the order number.

Cheap food....cheap labor.

This ain't no fancy dinner service.

I think it was kind of a dick move....actually.

Ah yes, another democrat in the making. Same illogical reasoning. Same lack of common sense.

The cashier was unable to calculate the coin money offered as payment.

I've always taken counting change(in my head) for granted.


My biggest fear with the smart phone is that a bunch of (young)people are going to become way too reliant on them for figuring out pretty much anything.

They already can't get from point A to point B without the GPS on the dang things.

Well, sure. Try and buy a stupid map anymore.


Maybe SOMETIMES they might have a crappy fold up map......never a road atlas or Gazetteer.

I interpreted that as 5,000 in concessions over the 1,000 starting offer.

Come on Jim, can't we expect anything from anyone?

When I was a grocery store cashier as a kid I could count back change.

I know McD's isn't the Jet Propulsion Lab, but how low must our expectations go?
