My title is a bit of a troll--the younger generation is always losing skills and learning new skills.
What triggered this post is my buying Starbucks coffee today. I pay in cash, usually trying to pay provide $5.55 for a $3.55 coffee, meaning I can put $2 in the tip jar (a habit carried over from pandemic days). The veteran baristas know my habit and handle it; today a newbie was thrown by it, gave me changes for $5 and my $.55 in change back.
I suppose like using the stick shift and the correction fluid, the art of making change is gradually losing ground as we all switch to digital payments.
