I have a lot of respect for older people and try to remain patient but it’s wearing thin. It seems like a lot of older people have so much trouble interacting with others in a place (grocery store) where a little bit of courtesy makes everything run so much smoother. I find they are constantly blocking an entire isle single handedly. I don’t even have a cart with me and I regularly can’t get by and they don’t even realize they are holding others up. The salad bar is a nightmare when they are around too. Better yet is the checkout line where they use 19 coupons for Prune Juice. If it’s not the obsessive need for using exact change, it’s a check that takes two minutes to write-up if everything goes perfect. I can’t even go to the grocery store on Tuesday afternoon’s anymore because it’s the day a tour bus brings a bus load of the elderly there and ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. Everyone there knows it too because you can see the bank tellers cringe, everyone at the deli counter is trying to take their lunch break and the people working the registers are ready to give away the groceries for free to avoid head aches. I propose they put a DVD on the bus that informs them how to shop but I doubt their hearing aids are turned up high enough to make a difference.
