I was in the Deli at the grocery store the other day.I bought a breakfast bar for 69 cents.Got outside and it was no good(been there all day) So,I brought it back.The lady asked if I wanted another one.No,I dont want another stale breakfast bar thank you.I will take my money back for the breakfast bar and have one of those chicken breasts for $1.50 please,and laid one dollar on the counter. OK she says that will be $2.19. What? $1.50 - 69 cents is 81 cents.She said no its $2.19.Laughing I tried to explain it to her as she broke out a calculator.Again she said that will be $2.19.Then I asked her "you actually handle money for a living?" She had to go get the manager.Very sad.She never did figure it out.
