Friend's grandson was a straight-A student in high school. Did sports and had an extra job too. Now he's an engineering student in Southern Colorado. Works part time at a fast food place to pick up some extra cash. With his school workload and work, he's really busting his butt. No school loans. Scholarships and pay as you go. Anyway...
He's working the other day. This old guy comes in and orders one of their breakfast sandwich specials. It was a $1.08 after tax. The old guy gives him a $1 bill, then reaches in his pocket and hands him some change. A quarter, two dimes, a nickle, and a penny. So $1.51. For some reason the old guy was thinking the dimes were penny's. Grandson thinks the nickle might have just been in there by accident. Old guy thinks he only gave him $1.28.
Any who, grandson gives him back his 43 cents in change and the old guy goes off on him about kids these days not being able to count change. Grandson calls over the manager to deal with it. She's all tatted up like a biker chick, but he says she's really sharp, good with customers, and a great manager.
The old guy wasn't having any of it. Kid likes to shoot with his dad. He noticed the old guy was carrying a scuffed up 1911 in a custom holster, so they decide to call their armed security guard over to escort the guy out. When they walked him out, the old guy was mumbling something about "rocket surgery."
After they got him out of the store, everybody there was wondering "what the heck is wrong with old people."
