The Power Of Maths

Or just adding 1+1 = ?

This morning I went to my favourite coffee shop and had my normal coffee @ R22 SA. So I give the waiter a R50 SA bill and he comes back with R23 SA Change.

There was absolutely no way I could get him to understand that he had short changed me by R5 SA So in the end I just gave up and walked out as I could not take it any more, so I start to wonder what are they teaching them at school these days

Try giving them R50 then an extra R02 in order to get a round R30 change.
That only has two outcomes, OK no problem, or fu#k my brain hurts, why are you messing me up?

It was scary seeing him trying to work it out so I did not need him to have an overload and thought it would be safer to just leave it

That's a novel way to earn a tip. Plead insanity/ stupidity/dementia, etc.
From now on have the right change I guess

It's the same level of logic that has him waiting for the bus he burned yesterday

I had something similar a few years ago when I was working at the family's marina. A woman came in and bought a bag of shiners (minnows) and gave me $10.80 for a $3.20 purchase. I gave her $7.60 in change and she wanted to argue I owed her $8.00 instead of $7.60. I never did get her to see it my way and I later found out she was a MATH teacher.

The truly scary part is that: "They walk among us.............!"
