It's an everyday, 50 year old Hamilton that replaced an even older Timex that I had when I was in high school, which no longer runs. Well, here's your chance to learn a fun new skill: watch repair!When the jewelers that you've taken your wrist watch to for repairs for decades no longer has a watch repair division.

I wonder if Vannie buys a 6 pack of Charmin before each stuffed cabbage night?![]()
Admittedly, it's been over 40 years since I last worked in any retail context; but, it's been my observation over the last several months (if not years) that cashiers, both retail and banking, no longer care whether their bills are all aligned in the same direction. When I was handling a cash till, all currency was supposed to be in it's appropriate section, oriented in the same direction and all bills either face up or face down. From right to left, one had $1, $5, $10, $20 and $50. $100 went under the cash tray; and checks (and paper coupons) went in the far lefthand slot. Has something changed. . .especially since now everyone is going plastic?![]()
I can see that view, but I support the individual freedoms of all bills. For example, a couple of ones, face to face, but right side facing different directions, might be wanting to do 69 in the cash drawer.

A number of years back, I often bought single bottles of beer to try. Usually no problem, but sometimes the bar code on the bottle wasn't in the system, so the cashier would have manually enter a price based on the 6 pack price. One time, the cashier actually pulled out a calculator in order to do the higher math required to figure out what one bottle from a 6 pack priced at $6 might run.And if the screen did not tell them the exact amount of change I doubt they could do it.

And meanwhile, customers of that era had the skills to know they were getting the right change.I remember when you had to verbally call out the price of the purched item as you rang it up on the register; and, counted the change back to the customer. "Your total is $ 14.78, you gave me a $ 20, so 79, 80, 90 and $1 makes 15 plus $5 makes $20."![]()
