Hate to say, but my own personal policy is that when a cashier overpays me in change that I say *nothing* anymore and I donate the excess to my church. I used to correct these people in the past and all too often they’d get offended and sometimes even yell at me for insulting their intelligence.
To me the insult was self-evident.
Anyhow, I figure if I say nothing then that person is one step closer to their new job.
And then I go home and teach my kids multiplication tables, short division, and business algebra instead of the mindless ‘theories’ the public schools teach about math anymore.

I am with you on that. I had someone short me about $10 on my change. I called in the manager and demanded a register count. The register was off by over $100. I got my money and the employee wasn’t there the next day.
Your post reminded me of this classic

I hear you, but you are blaming the victim here. It’s not the kid’s fault that he had IDIOT parents that let a bunch of left-wing radicals ‘educate’ him...just so they could keep up with the Jones’s.
