Self Serve

I have a recommendation for all the grocery stores out there - start carding people and reject anyone over the age of 45 at the self check-out line!

I'm standing in the self check-out at the grocery store during the holiday rush watching an older man (not like 80 or anything...I mean, I have sympathy for Gramps) stare blankly at the touch screen for what seemed like an hour. After figuring out how to scan his groceries, where to place all his $1 bills, and how to bag his groceries the machine was screaming at him to take his change. He managed to look everywhere EXCEPT where the red light was blinking, directing him to his cash. I wanted to take it out of the machine and throw it at him and tell him to get a move-on already. Instead, I took my usual passive stance and rolled my eyes and sighed really really loudly.
