Good thing she didn't have to figure how much change to give you back! Assuming that you were able to fit that extra .40 cents of diesel in your container.
It is not their job to do the math for you. If you want to buy fuel by the gallon go to a full service gas station and ask for 7 gallons. Simple solution is to use a debit or credit card and pump the exact amount you want. Don't be sofa king high and mighty.
Most people just give a dollar amount not gallons. At 2.80 per gallon it's 19.60 or around 20. The math is easy, but without a calculator at a busy convenience store, I don't think I could be johnny on the spot with that calculation either without a calculator. I would just round up and say 3.00 x 7 = 21.00 Working in retail, I know the public can be difficult. When I go into a store and ask for gas, I would just say give me 20 dollars worth. You sir are a jerk!
A young lady came into our office one day for an appointment. A few minutes later, she came and asked me what time it was. I pointed to the clock on the wall because I was on the phone with another customer. She looked at the clock, had a puzzled look on her face and finally turned her cell phone on. She had no clue as to how to read a non digital clock!
Its not just RoFo, its everywhere.
if you give a cashier change after they enter any ammount into the cash register most of them are lost
It's that stupid 9/10 of a penny that made it confusing. BTW, who goes into a Royal Farms and orders gallons, and not a dollar amount? If she DID the math, and did it correctly, there would be .3 cents to be accounted for. What about your math skills? You were a difficult customer, and did not order your product in a normal manner. Don't blame the clerk, or the school she attended.
The sign didn't say $2.80 a gallon. What about the 9/10ths of a cent? Your math (or reading) skills could use some help, as well. Where did you go to school?
I'm an old f--t too and even I know you can't say she's white.
And for those that for even a moment, should consider this fact that the dumbing down of generations is something other than strategic design by a domestic enemy, then you are in fact just as ignorant as graduates that cant count. These generations are purposely kept ignorant not just of basic knowledge and skills but just as important about God, History, power and corruption. If we do not seek out and destroy the enemy within or education systems then our future is lost.
Very strange way to purchase something in this day and age.
So sorry for this young woman but the issue would be more about not being taught and pushed through by the powers that be. Some are just not good at math but even with a calc? In 5 years time maybe she will be the manager of the same store. Sad future.
Common core educated.
It sounds like she might have been new at the job and didn't know how to put gallons into the pre-pay machine. Usually people ask for $XX worth, not gallons.

Of course, it's her job to do the math, or rather the cash registers'.

If you could stop calling people names and read the article you would see he said she used a calc. and still couldn't figure it out. Who's the jerk?

Ever hear of rounding up? He was not a difficult customer and nothing abnormal about ordering a "product" in the manner it is for sale, per gallon. Why don't you people stop making excuses for people's ineptitude? This young woman is there to perform a function, adding items prices, collecting payment and returning change. She quite simply could not perform that function even with the help of a calculator. I am not condemning her. She needs further instruction that she obviously did not get at her school before being allowed to graduate. This customer went there with a container that held a certain amount and that's what he ordered and he should have been able to receive it without doing the calculations for her.

Not at all. Maybe just not expected to some of you and you can't handle something that requires a small amount of thinking.
Don't go to the Royal Farms on S Division between 10:00am - 12;oo pm and expect to get coffee been there to get my coffee several times lately and they a selection of 2 - 3 and the rest is empty. So why would you think they know math?
I get where the guy is coming from, but common man, seriously??? .40 fucking cents???? Not to be a dick to this guy but you could have just went with the whole 20 to begin with, or said the actual amount you wanted... I wouldn't leave it up to them to figure it out, not for a second... Furthermore, it is technology that is making people stupid next to common core, but you all love your phones though right? As you walk into polls with yuor face stuck in the screen....
You clowns need to understand that everyone is good any different things, and just becasue you can do something they can't, doesn't mean they are stupid... I can do calculus, but not in my head since it has been 10 years and you forget what you don't use, but can you do calculus in yuor head??? NO, then that must make you stupid based on how you all think about others... What about not being able to swim??? Because you can't swim, does that make you stupid????
Obamanomics.
OMG...I can't believe the people defending a High School Graduate that can't multiply
7 x 2.80! Seriously? Maybe the guy was a difficult customer, but the real problem is she couldn't do simple multiplication and graduated High School. Stop defending what is logically wrong!!
Hey Old Fart,
It is apparent and obvious that you are the one with the issues. Who does that? Who goes to a cashier and demand they solve multiplication equations?
You should have stated the dollar amount you wanted to begin with, it's not their job to do that for you. If you're so smart, why didn't you figure it out? When you said just give me $20.00 worth, it shows that you couldn't do the math either, idiot!
Not only that, you felt it necessary to write to a blogger about what an inconsiderate idiot you are! As my accounting professor would always say, "That's wrong with the world today." You. You are real piece of work. Now go back out and scream at the kids to stay off your lawn! Schmuck!
On behalf of the older generation, I'd like to apologize, as that "old fart" has no common sense.
I'd bet the cashier could do the math, she was just shocked someone would ask such an asinine question. Or perhaps she thought she was talking to Allen Funt and was looking for the hidden camera.
You see, that old fart is the type of person who goes to Taylor's BBQ and orders two ribs.
Or goes to Thrashers and says "I'd like 17 fries please".
Or to Fisher's and says "I'll have 22 popped kernels please".
Is today "Big Block of Cheese Day" on the blog? How else to explain this post.
I just think it's funny how people go to a convenience store and expect the 5 star treatment. I worked in one when I was in college. People treat you like crap all day long and expect their low budget rear ends to be kissed. I fully get what the person who wrote the article is saying. But is your life so bad that you have to call out someone who is at least working for a living. Well Mr. Perfect think back on your life to everything you have done. Was it perfect? Were there times in your life you may have been overwhelmed and screwed something simple up? Liberal's have ruined the schools in our country. They don't teach the basic skills for the students to function in the real world. The Libs want them stupid and dependent on the Government.
No one goes to a station and orders gas by the gallon! You are simply an attention seeker. LOL What a joke!
The price was 2.80 9/10
So at 2.80 that wasn't the issue. My point is she didn't know how to multiply 2.80x7
Wrong. I have never heard of anybody trying to buy fuel by the gallon
If you can't do decent grade school math, what are you doing working at as a cashier for?
Since this guy is so smart, I'm surprised he didn't just go in and say "please give me $19.60 worth of gas." Of course, when he went to pump and came up just short of 7 gallons because it was $2.80 and 9/10ths per gallon, then he would have self-righteously marched back in there and started yelling at that poor cashier and made everyone else have to wait while he had his hissy-fit, just because he had a chip on his shoulder that day. That being said, yes the school systems suck, but this is a very poor example of an attempt to demonstrate that.
I have been to a gas station many times with my 5 gallon red plastic gas can and asked for 5 gallons of gas. And, no, that other .40 cents probably won't fit in there, either! It is a cashier's primary job responsibility to be able to do the math either with the calculator on a phone or countertop or in one's head no matter what color that head is.
Why don't you all get that?
Who orders gas by the gallon?
Thank you 10:59. I was exhausted reading these simple comments. The old fart even stated he was NOT picking on the employee. Thank you old fart for stating a pure fact about today's society. The post wasn't about the girl, but about how students are not prepared in school today. And I'll go on to ask what do we expect from school with conduct so far out of control. May I add, the last resident of our White House did not help one bit, but set us so far back it will be difficult to return from whence we came.
Trump/Pence 2020!
I lived in Middleburg VA and if anyone knows anything about Middleburg it is the home to the extremely wealthy. Still a lot of full service gas stations around there and they tend to ask for gas by the gallon. Same at the deli counter. They would order 20 slices of cheese, 30 slices of ham. At the seafood counter they would say 4 pieces of fish. Never ask for anything by the pound.
There is no shortage of rude people, as that customer proves. Rude, and oblivious that he is rude, like most other assholes. Orders 7 gallons, Geesh! He knows the clerk can only set the pump for dollars, not gallons. As for the old fart that only learned how to use a calculator, I bet that clerk is immensely more educated in the use of computers than he is. Heck, I bet he couldn't even use the register she was operating. What a dolt. She is way smarter than he is. An he is stuck in the 20th century.
I wish it was that old fart's daughter that someone else was chastising for their own shortcoming in not knowing how to order a purchase of fuel. I bet he would feel differently. I guess he thought she was supposed to go out and pump it for him. If he didn't know how to order fuel, I'm surprised he knows how to use the pump, if he does. And WTF does her looks have to do with his "complaint?" That old man is just a jerk. If he had asked one of my daughters where she went to school, they would have told him, "it's none of your business creep."
March 9, 2018 at 10:41 AM:
The kids today know far more about technology than you ever will. That makes you the stupid one.
March 9, 2018 at 10:59 AM:
You sir, are not her boss, and it is not your place to tell anyone what her job is. You are out of line, and even if you are unable to comprehend that, the rest of us civil people know it.
10:45 I agree I think he did it on purpose just to email joe and have something to complain about.”Excuse me I would like 7 gallons of fuel, I have this 20 dollars is that enough?” This guy is a complete dumbass.
10:59 All that babble for no reason. He already had it planned in his little mind(you are probably the poster because your so butt hurt It backfired) that he was going to spend 20 but just couldn’t help being an ass.
11:51 😂 agreed what a tool and it bothered him so much it ruined his day and being an old fart he just wasted more of his life. See you later gramps keep letting the small things bother you and you won’t be a bother anymore, your grand child will sell that heater as soon as you depart.
I bet you go to the deli and ask for $5.00 worth of Ham. I bet when they ask you how thick you want it cut you say $0.17 slices.
What H. S. graduate can’t do basic multiplication.? What’s sad is that people are condemning the man for asking for gas per gallon and that the individual could not complete a BASIC math equation.. get off his back and ask yourself why someone who graduated H.S. Could not figure out 7x 2.80?
Exactly what about this has to do with common core?
Home School
I'm starting to wonder if the ones defending this hapless young woman is just as bad at math as she seems to be. And WITH a calculator people. You're attacking this customer because he ordered what he wanted? Really? Ever think his can only holds 7 gallons? Maybe he needed the change for something else? Regardless, it's NOT his fault she couldn't do basic math. WTH is wrong with you people. You all act just as dumb, if not dumber, than this girl may be. Typical eastern shore attitudes.

March 9, 2018 at 11:05 AM
WTH drinks Royal Farms coffee anyway. Go to Wawa you idiot.
The old fart couldn't just use one of those new fangled credit or debit card things at the pump and get the exact amount of fuel he wanted. He was on a mission to be a pain in the butt an try to intimidate a young woman at ROFO.
To all the folks who think I JUST an old fart and don't know anything. I run a small business here in Salisbury and have 9 employees. My employees average $15.00 an hour in wages. I have been in business for 24 years and I do all of the office work, taxes, bids, etc.. I also have a computer repair service where I repair, clean, replace hardware, and remove malware from customers computers. So I may not be a college Grad but I am far from being dysfunctional. All I am saying is I don't understand how you can graduate from high school and not understand how to multiply numbers. My employees have to mix chemicals like 16:1. I couldn't hire this young lady because she can't do simple math. The store was not busy at all.
Thanks that's all I have to say.
5:18-You are obviously the one who wrote the comment to Joe. I am responding to your response to my comments. "Get off his back?" He/You are the PROBLEM! You failed to grasp the point of my previous comment, so I won't repeat myself like you have been doing on this thread. It appears you can't do the math either if you leave it to someone else to solve. You need to just eat some bran and realize you are 100% wrong and you are a bitter old fart.
2:14 Another old fart your exhausted just reading. He wasn’t picking on the employee he just wanted his .40 cents back, right?

"All that babble" are the previous comments copied and pasted into one. But you are correct, they ARE babble, much like yours. Sorry to disappoint but I'm not the original poster. But explain to us how it, or anything, has "backfired"?
Beside his pointing out the less than stellar math skills of a CASHIER, he has also brought to light the other mental deficient's living in the area. (that would be you and your ilk)
I have never expected much from the people of this area and now even that has been lowered a notch. Keep it classy smallsbury.
6:47 assumes that the old fart is telling the whole story. Sorry that eastern shore girl didn’t know to give him his .40 cents back. I can tell your from the eastern shore too with your use of caps. I guess it’s not our fault you don’t know proper sentence structure.
6:47- if you can't take it then don't write up a stupid story to post on a blog. Also, stop pretending to be other people that agree with you. It is pathetic and sad. Us eastern shore people with our attitudes called you out immediately. Shut up already and stop being an ass. You are not in the right here. Accept it and move on.

March 10, 2018 at 5:59 AM
I'm surprised you found 9 individuals in smallsbury worthy of employing AND could do simple math. As evidenced here, most in the area think with their emotions and not their brain.
Oh, wait. I just had a thought. Maybe these are the teachers at Bennett making all these rude comments. That would explain it.
The issue here is not the girl. It is you. You have issues if you write to a blog on a Friday about a trip to Royal Farms on a Tuesday, to tell a stupid tale about how mean and moronic you are. Virtually everyone disagrees with you, but you already know you're infallible. Well, wrong again. You, and people like you, are the problem here on the shore.
More babble I see. Didn’t expect much from you either so please leave smallsbury as you say. Oh that’s right your a born here.
Sure you do KCSr. That’s about believable as you rofo story.
I can do the calculation in my head, and this moron wants ot be a jerk to the girl for not doing it for him. If I can do the math in my head and get the answer, and he can't, then that makes him the stupid one, not the girl. I pity the fact that she has to put up with assholes like him while doing her job.
If you can run a business, why can't you use a credit card and pay at the pump? That way you can get exactly 7 gallons.
2:14,6:47,7:46 and 7:49 same person that cannot stand “smallsbury” but likes to comment on smallsbury🤷♂️
As stated in a previous comment the price of diesel the day in question was 2.87 9/10 a gallon...ROFO staff
March 9, 2018 at 6:47 PM:
Hey numbskull, HE is the one that couldn't do the math. HE is the one that can't figure how many dollars worth of fuel it takes to fill a 7 gallon container. HE is the stupid one, not the girl. Maybe the old fart is in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, because blaming the girl, or schools, or anyone else for not doing math for him is irrational. Maybe HE's the one that forgot how to do simple math. HE goes and complains publicly about the girl not being able to perform basic math skills, when he can't do them himself. HE deserves all the backlash HE gets.
If he treats everyone like he treated that girl, it's HIS future that is in trouble. The more helpless he gets, the more trouble he is going to have getting help.
I am a little worried about KCSr now that we know his so called business deals with chemicals and he is messing around with peoples hard drives and still hasn’t figured out how to use a debit or credit card.
Diesel was 2.87 a gallon on day in question. Funny how KCSr made it a nice round number for his made up story
March 10, 2018 at 7:49 AM:
The more you type, the dumber you get. You can't even come up with any kind of rational rebuttal to all of the people that know an asshole when they hear one. You are one nasty, uncivilized, rude old codger, who is dumber than any cashier at a convenience store. Nobody likes you, just look at the comments. You are full of yourself (and a whole lot of other stuff). I'm not a violent person, but some people just need to be cold-cocked to get their attention. Type some more. Tell everyone what a dick you are.
How in the world does a grown man not know how to buy fuel? What a jerk. He must have mental problems or some kind of personality disorder to blame the girl for his shortcomings. I think the personality disorder is obvious to most of us. He seems very defensive of his rude and abusive actions actions against that clerk. He was out of line, and we all know it no matter how he tries to explain his rude behavior.
March 10, 2018 at 5:59 AM:
Man, KCSr, you just can't get your head out of your ass, can you? It appears to be stuck rather firmly. Its so far up there you can't see the light of day. Same goes for your twin brother (March 10, 2018 at 7:49 AM)
KCSr- I bet you were expecting a rallying cry behind your "editorial." I agree with everyone here, and every single comment posted against you. Every derogatory name that you've been called, seems to fit what I would call you, but just seems redundant at this time.
I want to add my input by saying I deal with "you" on a daily basis. I am glad you exposed yourself to a forum that can allow for honest opinions about "you."
KCSr, you're definitely the real problem here with us locals. You won't even consider the 99% negative feedback to your post, and you still assume you're right and keep repeating yourself, as if we can't read. Pretty pompous to me if you think we can't understand your original post.
Wake up and realize that, on this site, most of us are agreeable people with basic common sense. Then there are the other 1%. That's where you fit in. Just old or batsh!t crazy, but I think you are just plain mean.
We have to deal with you, KCSr, on a daily basis and we have had just about enough. You are only about to get a whole lot more pissed off, as we are tired of dealing with "you," and it's only going to get worse for you.
Welcome to the future, old fart. We don't give a flying F**k about you or your feelings. Time to grow up.
As a former employee of a full service gas station at Hensler's Auto in Pocomoke, when going to highschool in the early 90's, I feel like I can put this to bed with some expertise on the subject.
First, the only full service gas station left on the eastern shore of MD is on Race St. in Cambridge. This is the only place where it would be acceptable to ask for exact volume amount, rather than price. This being that an attendant can be present to pump the requested amount.
I can only think of one other reason to request a specific gallon amount rather than price. There are still places that you can get propane tanks filled on demand. That's about it. I recommend Camden Petro. Very good prices.
These two occasions are the only times where it makes sense to request specific volumes and not dollar amounts.
The author of this post needs to move to, or move back to New Jersey or Oregon. Only then would the obviously older person, get the service they are expecting, which ceased in most places in the early 1980's, back when a guy stood out by the pumps with a stack of bills to stop the pump or add a solution to leaded gas engines.
This "author" is an angry, unabashed and unapologetic dinosaur. I will never claim to be a professional gas "nozzler," but I bet I have more experience than any poster on this thread.
He obviously thinks he is at a service station, but this is actually what's called a convenience store. HUGE DIFFERENCE. I believe that is his first failure. He then insults the clerk by demonstrating he cannot do multiplication and therefore insults an innocent person to build up his ineptitude.
To further compensate for his inability at an erection, losing his "business," or just being another liberal moron, he had to write to someone, three days later, who could provide a forum that can "potentially pat him on the back," given this site's recognition of the ineptitude of some Millennials.
My final thought, if he is a business owner, there is no way in hell that he is paying cash for gas. This person, forgive me for referring to the poster as he and for all the quotation marks, has been full of it from the get go, or just can't help to constantly lie. A bitter coward with a lot more time on his hands than any employer of over a dozen people should have. Probably the Shell station owner from across the street? Whatever, I just believe the poster is truly what's wrong with the shore and most definatly not the solution!
I don't care who you are. This is funny.

Hear,hear. Well said.
Wow did you miss the point of this article. Stay in your house please
Maybe he was being honest and said what he wanted. It’s not his fault she was either not paying attention or just dumb.
My god you people are dense! You just can’t see the fact that this girl is a product of a failing society and education system. We are in a lot of trouble in the coming years because of everyone’s ignorance.
730 do you have any idea how massive your ego is? This is a comment section on a blog spot! Your comments are longer then half the articles and usually talking about yourself in some type of expertise you have... Trust me people are talking about you when you leave the room and it's not good... Time to change my friend. Thanks.
Everything
Graduating students who can't do simple math is a small thing? Let me take a look at this picture. Get your head out of the sand.
The point is lack of Education that is the whole point.
The point is lack of Education.
I was at the doctor's office and a routine question lately has been have you been out of the country in the last 30 days. I told her that I had been to Canada. She starred at the conpcomp for a moment and asked me if that was in south America!
I always see signs posted for the price per gallon, not by how much gas you get per dollar. If it's advertised per gallon, why wouldn't it be common to order it that way?
There is no predisposition that fuel must always be ordered by the dollar amount.
The example was right on. But at least you got that in your last sentence.
Somebody who needs that many gallons! That was a simple question to answer :-)
I bet you can't do the math either!
Way smarter but can't do simple math. Huh
You don't get it, the point of this article is that a graduate from high school can I do simple math.
How do you know she can't do simple math. It is not her job to figure out how many gallons of fuel equal $20. The price of fuels (3-4 different grades/diesel) fluctuate daily. This old fart was being difficult. The easy solution, pay with credit or debit card at pump and get the exact amount of fuel you want. PERIOD! End of discussion.
9:37 You all are part of a failing system. You live in an economically depressed area with high crime, no jobs, low property values and increasing taxes. Not to mention it is the 3rd or 4th most liberal state in the country and most of you retards don't even support your GOP governor. It is very telling that this subject is the most commented post on the blog this week. SMDH
10:04 right,I’m sure you would be Johnny on the spot. Head isn’t in the sand just mind my own business try it sometime
10:10 good comeback gramps and with an exclamation point, your so smart
10:20 You are a graduate and cannot put a sentence together. Pot meet kettle
March 11, 2018 at 10:20 AM:
You are the one that doesn't get it. The man's a jerk, and can't do the math himself. And he has lots of experience to go with HIS HS diploma, if he has one.
KC Sr is an uneducated fool himself. He expects a convenience store clerk to do the math that he can't do. And then he complains about the type of education he ASSUMES she has. He can't be a bigger jerk or fool. He has no basis for his complaint. Just an old crybaby.
KCSr.. “Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge.”
That's what America is all about. Someone figure it out for me. talk about the high and mighty. People are going to rip her blind. What is wrong with our .Schools
Lol sounds like you just want to complain. You've never had a day where you're not on top of things?
lol wow these butthurt teachers still making excuses. lol. I would be embarrassed too if I was the one responsible for this cashiers fail
10:07-This writer does not have your level of comprehension.We used to have idiots coming in asking for a specific # of gallons instead of a dollar amount.They become agitated when a clerk has not encountered such a dumb thing like that before.They most likely have never conformed to anything in their lives.
LOL to funny
She should have told him that will be $19.66 and 3/10 and then watch the old fart figure out what he was going to do.
Self-Reliance? A better tomorrow exists when we treat others as we would like to be treated. Friend, do your own math and try to be kind to yourself when you eventually don’t know the answer to a seemingly simple question.
must be a lot of demoncrats in smallsbury
Commerce and day-to-day transactions are not your business huh what do you do, hide under a rock? :-)
Well apparently I'm smarter than you :-)
1255 you are upset because you can't do the math either. :-)
8 years of Obama dumbing down AMERICA.
Where can you buy a 7 gallon can?
Paid for by George Soros.

You are exactly right! And of course the arrogant (but stupid) old fart would ask why everybody hasn't heard of rounding up, or down. But if this asshole really had to have only 7 gallons, and that's all he wanted to pay for, he couldn't get it without that .3 cent. He would get a little more, or less fuel than what he was demanding. The funniest part of his whole story is the fact that he himself coundn't do the math that he accuses the clerk of being unable to do. That old goat is as stupid as they get. He can't even purchase fuel without getting into an argument.
Cut the girl a break. It's possible the way her register is set up, she can't ring up a sale by the gallon. Maybe ROFO doesn't allow cashiers to just punch in amounts in their registers.
Let's look at this from another side. Here's a young girl who is accustomed to handling her job a certain way. Then she gets a customer who requests something 99.9% different than how she's normally required to handle things.
I don't know about the rest of you, but when I was that age and had someone staring at me expecting me to do something a different way than I've been trained and how I normally handle day-to-day work, I'd get flustered, too. I might even "forget" how to do a simple math calculation with a calculator.
I equate it to someone looking over your shoulder as you do something you've done hundreds of times. All of a sudden, you're all thumbs. You can't type, you forget how to spell.
Doesn't make her stupid. Doesn't mean she didn't get a good education. You can't tell from this ONE episode.
