      They should also have to pass a certification exam to use self-checkout. If it’s too hard for you to do it without making the customer assistance light flash, they have cashiers that will do it for you.

        The general public doesn’t really need more beyond algebra and precal normally in day to day. I would be fine with it being more general in the maths section.
