On the counter that sold loose tree decorations and bulbs. The tills only accepted the total so it was all mental arithmetic. In LSD. One customer brought a huge range of baubles at different prices and after I'd added it all up as I wrapped each one she claimed I'd overcharged her. I had to unwrap every one while my supervisor added it up audibly. I was very grateful the I was correct. The customers queueing up behind her weren't happy.

Helping on a milk delivery round, (Saturday was pay day). It was a bit tricky working out the different milk prices, (silver, gold tops etc) and who had extra pints etc. Until all hell broke loose on Decimal Day. The older customers didn't understand it despite massive publicity. Many would only pay in LSD, so owed money and accused me of cheating them.
