Yes, I understand that you weren't very good at fractions in school. Really, I sympathize. But if you're going to work in the butcher's department, I *do* expect you to learn what "2/3 of a pound" means. And no, 1.25 pounds isn't close...
*snicker* The thing is, they'll go home and complain to friends/family that someone expected them to know that, and the friends/family will say "math is hard, it's okay." I wish we would change our cultural attitude to that of the Asians, which is that you can get it if you work hard enough.
