Sometimes i think it would be easier if instead of teaching everyone how to math just avoid using percentage at all and just add "half the price" or something like that. Not to make their live easier, its to make people who need to deal with customers like that life easier.

Sure that works till you want %25, %75, and all other sorts of weird percentages people cannot grasp the meaning of.

How about explaining that not only can you not give a zeroed out (meaning so many discounts it no onger has value) to a customer for free because it rang up as zero, but also we cannot sell it to them for any price. They don't like that. In fact managers have outlawed the speaking of the phrase when speaking about an item around a customer at sears!
