I can't believe our children can't make change in their head. The lady at aldi's must be one smart lady.

Sorry to say this is more typical than the clerk at Aldi. Our educational system has been so dumbed down that the registers now determine how much change, and many (most?) clerks cannot figure these things out in their heads, even the simplest figuring. Have you noticed that instructions for things like assembling a product have more and more pictures--and fewer and fewer words? Spelling went by the wayside a long time ago, and now it seems that reads is also!
