Yah, does that mean I only get half the book?

The comic Retail did a similar joke a few weeks ago.

Sounds like Frank & Ernest just got insulted.

I look at the sticker and ponder, is that the half price or is that the full price they cut in half. I’m half baked.

@biviek. I agree that this is very sad. Most of them can’t figure out the change you should get back either without a calculator. If I give the guy/girl at McDonald’s $5.07 for a meal which costs $4.57, they wouldn’t know what to without entering it into the machine.

Books—50% off. That means we pay $20.00 for a book marked $10.00, right?

@richardkel, @biviek, such is life in the technology lane. Frankly, I rather prefer it, the machine never short-changes me accidentally or otherwise. I’m also happy to automobiles so I don’t need to walk and I’m happy to have email so I don’t have lick stamps.What bothers me is not people relying on machines to do simple arithmetic, but folks who don’t bother thinking anymore. If some fool in Washington D.C. tells us the sky is actually green, always has been, and anybody who thinks otherwise should have their eyes examined, you know there’d be long lines outside every eye clinic in the country.
