When The System Crashes But Honesty Prevails
The brutal honesty of this bakery sign is what happens when you combine system failures with mathematical transparency! Instead of making up some corporate excuse about their cash register being down, they've gone full chaotic-neutral with "our staff can't do math." It's like they've discovered a new law of retail physics: when technology fails, mental arithmetic becomes quantum mechanics. Calculating change without a machine? Might as well ask them to split the atom with a pastry fork! The bakery's admission is basically the culinary equivalent of "E=mc² but we have no idea what c equals, so cards only please!"
