New Math

Today, mid-day, after the guy from the jet-ski repair shop came to pick up the motocross bike and 4-wheeler......don't ask......Chris had to get to work. We stopped at McDonald's to get a bite to eat. Good thing we decided to go inside and eat because had we not, I'm afraid we would have missed our chance to learn the New Math that is taking over the country slowly but surely.

We placed our order and instead of getting a Number 10value meal, the cashier gave us and charged us for a 10-piece McNugget meal. No big deal, I just told the lady that's not what we ordered and she got the correct item. The plus side was that the meal we originally ordered and wanted and eventually got was cheaper than what we were charged. Also on the up side is that we learned the New Math. It's pretty simple. I'll explain it to you.

Meal we were mistakenly given costs $5.45
Meal we originally ordered costs $4.40

Total change due back to cUStomer $0.50

Double check all you want, but this is the change that was refunded. I'd love to have their calculator when tax time rolls around next year!

We ended up getting our $1.05 that was due to us before we sat down to eat, but just wanted to share this experience with you! Here's a toast to all the dining out we do and all the money we are giving these people!

Happy Monday!

P.S. I am happy also to report that I saw a hummingbird today after almost 3 weeks of having the feeder hanging. Yay!!
