Got so hard to count or not?

When businesses hire cashiers, I sincerely recommend that they hire people who are actually able to count. They should also hire supervisors who are able to count, executives who are able to count, managers who are able to count, and finally CEO CFO COO CIO cuckoos who are also able to count.

These look like Monopoly money.

Otherwise the business sure finish.
Finish. Fold. Bankot. Kapoot. Finish.

So today I went to buy dindin from a western food stall at a nearby Kopitiam. I ordered 2 sets and 3 additional chicken wings @$1.20 each. The cashier took my order and collected my payment. Then several minutes later he approached me to inform me that they only had 1 chicken wing remaining. So now I have 2 prepaid chicken wings.

So ladies and gentlemoons do u noe how to do your double entries?

You might require the following information:
chicken wing - $1.20 each
chicken nuggets (packet) - $3.50

(1)
Dr Other current asset - Chicken wing: $ 3 wings
Cr Account payable - Western food @Kopitiam: $ 3 wings
(Being recording of purchase from stall)

(2)
Dr Account payable - Western food @Kopitiam: $ 3 wings
Cr Cash in pocket: $ 3 wings
(Being payment to cashier from stall)

(3)
Dr Prepayments - chicken wings: $ 2 wings
Cr Other current asset - Chicken wing: $ 2 wings
(Being transfer of cost of chicken wing to prepayments, since no actual chicken wings received)


Then the cashier asked if I would cancel my chicken wing order. I considered it would be more troublesome for him to process a refund of my chicken wing money, so I amended my order from 3 chicken wings to the 1 existing chicken wing and a box of chicken nuggets.

Any questions so far? I hope not, this is like, EASY.
So what are the further entries to make?

(4)
Dr Other current asset - Chicken nugget: $ nugget
Cr Account payable - Western food @Kopitiam: $ nugget
(Being recording of purchase from stall)

(5)
Dr Account payable - Western food @Kopitiam: $ 2 wings
Cr Prepayments - chicken wings: $ 2 wings
(Being discharge of prepayments for offset of value of nuggets)

So how much is my Accounts payable at this point?
i.e. Accounts payable - Western food @ Kopitiam = $ nugget - $ 2 wings = $1.10




And the cashier didn't know how to count this and he approached his supervisor for guidance. Then after 5min of discussion, the supervisor concluded that I had to top-up $4.80.

!??!?!?!?!??!
How they pass their Mathematics one??

Then the cashier felt that something was amiss, so he picked up a calculator and tried again. Then the 2 of them discussed another 5min. All the time I was trying to tell the supervisor I should top-up $1.10, but she found her colleague's voice more enchanting than mine and so she chose to ignore me. Anyway, they finally said that I need to top-up $2.40....

Hopeless, dey!

So I gave up and I shut up. I turned my head and at the counter there was this stall helper who had overheard the conversation and giggling at them.

Weird, dey!


So ya you bosses out there, please go and find yourselves cashiers, supervisors, etc.. WHO PASS THEIR MATHEMATICS ONE, CAN?!?!


eesh.
