This whole discussion was started by a man giving a teenage girl an oddball amount of money to pay a bill. It threw her for a loop, so she is automatically stupid and the education system is broken beyond repair?
Who is stupid? The girl, or the 99,999 other people who, when presented with a charge of $165.50 and paying cash, would peel off nine $20 bills, or one $100 and four $20's, or two $100's, or even make exact change?

Naw, it's more fun to call her stupid and complain about the educational system...
