Old People with Debit Cards Suck Ass!

Have you noticed how long it takes to get through a line of a couple of people at stores these days? It takes forever. But the worst is when you go to a drug or grocery store. Even though there might only be one old person in front of you, it might take the better part of a day to get to the cashier.

The first problem is cash. Old people don't carry it any more now that the government has direct deposit.

The second problem is that a debit card transaction is no longer just "punch in your pin". They got choices - and the old people read every goddam word and then think about it for a while. "Hmmm, do I want cash back? Back from what? Isn't this a card? Why are my pants wet?". All this takes too much time.

So the next time you are in a store and see a bunch of lines, thank the old people. They are over their heads and are costing us all precious efficiency.

Thanks Obama.

When I'm walking into a store I always hold the door open for old folks. But only so I can trip them on the way in and beat em to the register so I don't have to deal with this kind of nonsense.

I blame their asshole kids... they should be getting taken care of at that age..imo

Im old & im like a lightning bolt with my debit card baby , i answer no to everything & when the cashier tries to shake me down for my email address i tell them its " [email protected].

Just be thankfull you dont get behind a woman with a check book , cant spell the store name , no idea of todays date , ID card jammed in the see thru window in her wallet that takes her another 10 minutes to dig out .

Check books are my pet peeve .

I'm sure you'll be old and a nuisance for someone else soon enough

Ugh. I'll bet she takes forever at CVS (seethe)

Shoppers here Bahaha
plus we have reward cards to earn points. ..whole other dimension ....

I always try to get in the line with the most young dudes, and the least amount of women and old people. Young dudes don't want to talk or engage socially, they just want to get the fuck out asap. Women and old folks LOVE to chat, fuck that...

Not true. When the lady at the grocery store today asked me how I was doing I said "Alright, how about yourself?" Then I quickly shoved the cash in her hand grabbed my shit and left before the receipt was printed.

Further more to prove your point, I asked this employee about the whole chickens on sale that I couldn't locate. He said they were sold out but had some replacement "frozen" whole chickens for even cheaper. He points them out and this old couple is standing over them (late 70's maybe) so he explains the situation (while I try snatching a chicken to get the fuck out of there)

Store clerk: "well we have these frozen ones for 99 cents a pound or I can take a rain check and let you know when we have some refrigerated chickens back in stock."

Old couple: "Ok we'll take a rain check."

Aint nobody got time for that shit! Meanwhile I'm sitting here drinking beer on an empty stomach, waiting for my chicken to thaw out with my dinner likely to be ready at midnight...

Spot on observation by the way.

As for you, I wish you knew how much this topic made me laugh on oh so many levels, I miss you! Hug that baby for me and breathe in deeply, they never smell this good EVER again! Matter of fact teenagers smell repugnant.
