Where did the extra \$5 come from?" This usually makes it clear to confused people where the double-counting happens. | |

| Jun 28, 2017 at 9:02 | comment | added | Schneejäger | The extra dollar came from bad math. They bought THE gift, the gift was 45 dollars leaving 5, on the assistants way to return the 5 he stole 3, leaving 2, gave them 2 dollars all equaling to 50 not 51. They didn't pay 24+24, they paid 45. It's just attention, no hate here. | |
