I am thinking that if you "have to pull out a calculator to punch up what the total of your purchase is going to be before you get to the till"...then you don't have to go to the till in the first place.If a person is too poor to pay an extra dollar, maybe two, for a dine out meal, then they don't have to go out for dinner in the first place.
