On what planet is 87.46 + 10.92 = 100.48?
This is a rant. I’m trying to order something online and their website is broken. I wasn’t annoyed until I chat with the CSR who is totally unhelpful and irritating.
SUBTOTAL $87.46
SHIPPING ECONOMY GROUND $5.00
SHIPPING DISCOUNT – $5.00
SALES TAX $10.92
TOTAL $100.48
On what planet is 87.46 + 10.92 = 100.48?
Also, my tax isn’t even 10.92. It should be 8.09.
And they want me to PHONE in the order. Like what? And I’m assuming I’d have to read off every item name and item# and size and color of 24 items. Yeah, no.

Maybe they’re using common core math. Any number added to any other number can possibly equal $100.48, provided you need need it to so you can buy some shoes or something, and the person selling the shoes uses regular math. Psh, regular math is lame.
I don’t know what common core math is, other than hearing that it sucks. Must be why Americans are so smart and so good at math. The masses don’t need to be educated anyways, just smart enough to push a couple of buttons 40 hrs a week, every week, right?
Imagine a kind of math where the question, “2+2= ?” is wrong if you answer “4.” Because that’s not a ‘friendly,’ answer, and you didn’t explain why it’s reasonable. And yet, 2+2=5 could be correct if you put it in nice terms and explained why you think it’s reasonable. The more you know…
Maybe it is scam place I wouldn’t complete email it must not be a trusted website
It’s Aeropostale, not a scam place. They’ve just been having problems with their website the last few days.
