You should see the confusion on the cashier's face when I give them a ten and two ones to pay a $6.25 bill and have to explain I don't want a bunch of ones in my wallet, or the waiter's look when I add a $4.37 tip to a $20.63 bill on my debit card.  Have to explain I am lazy and only want to enter whole numbers in my check register...

i have long maintained that allowing students to use a calculator for basic math functions is a mistake.
