It's not just the younger generation who are bad at maths:
SC (around 50 year old man) pulls up at pump 3. Presses the pre-set. Picks up the handle. Puts it down again. Glares at the pre-set. Picks up the handle. Puts it down. Writes in the air with his finger. Comes into the store.
SC: I want thirty dollar dollars, three-oh, I typed on the pre-set but it says fifty, five-oh.
Me: There's a clear button, press that and type thirty again.
So he goes out and presses the clear button. Then picks up the handle, glares at the pre-set, puts the handle down again, repeats a few times, then moves forward to pump 1.
...which he then set to $3 (not $30) and pumped some fuel. Then, on entering the store again:
SC: It stopped at three! Not three-oh!
Me: The three might not have registered properly (thinks: but since this has never happened before, it's more likely that you're an idiot). Hang it up and put in another $27.
So he then put in another $15 and pretended it stopped at that because it was full.
