I've been out of school for some time now, and am starting to realize how much I have been forgetting. I forgot how percentages worked and had to reteach myself. I havent had to use them because everything is computerized at the registers, you just count out the money it tells you to and its done. I was asked over the phone in work how much a price would be for a used game (which was 5 dollars cheaper) with a 20% discount and tax added. I couldn't think to move the decibel over and go from there. I wasn't embarrassed or anything, just a bit surprised that I couldn't recall how to do the things I learned in high school.
