strange water bill...

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Paid my water bill in person yesterday.I paid by check and the guy behind the counter just sat there staring and my receipt without giving it to me.Finally , he took out a pen and started scribbling on it.This is somewhat how the receipt looked... TOTAL DUE.............72.13 PAID ON ACCOUNT.......72.13 BALANCE DUE...........0.00 CHECK # 2116..........31.68 Change due............40.45 He marked out the 40.45 and replaced it with 0. He mumbled that they were having trouble and that he didn't really know why the receipts were getting messed up.I did notice that all the computers in the office were very new.
