It was 10 years ago, in one very popular electronics store in Silicon Valley (Fry's - who knows now slid). I bought some shit there for $24.99 (whether it was a flash or a cable). I am going to pay by credit. Suddenly the electricity is cut off. The management of the store begins to rush, saying the cash casinos do not work, say only cash. Okay, I get my wallet. There is a tax on the goods, and not a simple, but 8.25%. The cashier calls the manager. The manager makes a calculation. And then the circus begins:



M: 24.99 * 8.25?

I: Are you completely crazy?

M: 24.99 * 0.825?

I: Well let’s go so :-)

M: 20.62, not so can not be...

We must not multiply, but divide.

I: So let’s go!

My mother still remembers that phrase.
