So there I was at the Taco Johns drive-thru getting two tacos, (Taco Tuesday) which came out to $1.72, when I realized that I had enough loose change to pay for it instead of using my card. So I had the woman a 50¢ piece, 4 quarters, 2 dimes, and 2 pennies, all totaling to $1.72. She lays the coins out and counts them one by one then looks at me and says you only gave me $1.42. Before hand I already expected confusion because I honestly didnt expect her to know what a 50 cent coin was so I said no thats a 50 cent coin to which she says yeah I know. So I count it out for her coin by coin. Then another person walks up whom I assumed to be her manager. So now there are two people staringbat these 9 coins completely baffled. So I count it all our again. Then the woman goes oh... I see. Sorry, Im just bad at math. ....... I have seen a chimpanzee count with sign language, people that thought the Earth was flat at didnt know where the Sun went at night developed this system and you cant count 9 coins? I had heard of these kinds of stories but I thought they were just jokes. Of course, as I shouldve expected, the two were so baffled with COUNTING, they forgot to give me my hot sauce. What an amazing species we human beings are. Tacos were top though.
