Of course, nothing happened except the line was delayed and progress stopped until she was educated. Again.
You would think this would be protocol for someone handling money...

That’s funny.
Myself, I can’t count the number of times I e had to wait interminably for some old codger to write a check at the grocery store, holding up the entire line. Takes longer than the entire checkout process.
Then there are the aging boomers who can’t figure out how to insert a chip card. Swipe 4 or 5 times, ignoring the cashier telling them it’s a chip only machine while we all wait. Finally they listen to one of us and we can move on while they grouse about how things used to be simpler...for them, I presume.
Then other classic is the elderly cashiers who can’t seem to figure out which button on the point of purchase machine they need to press so I can speed up the line with Apple Pay. Should take two seconds and I’m out. Can take up to a minute while we all wait patiently for them to figure out what seems to be a core job skill.
I guess we all have to be patient with folks who don’t adapt to change readily.
