I'm a big fan of cash register keyboards which
have pictures of burgers, fries, cokes, etc, on
the keys instead of numbers.

And they still get it wrong.  :)

Went in a RV supply place looking for a propane
burner - Kind of expensive at $40 but I needed it
to get shop equipment back on line - At the register
the young woman rang up $14.87.

When asked she said it was on clearance, so I
hustled back & grabbed the remaining two off the
shelf. New total $35 & change. I said "That can't be
right", and she obligingly redid the calculation; New
total $28 + change... I give up, paid and got back to
the shop.

Shame on me, I guess.
