I had a very large woman roll her packed cart up to the self checkout stand next to mine not long ago. She immediately called the attendant over and told her to ring the items up for her and bag them, which the attendant did without question. I couldn't believe it. I'm just standing there wondering...What do you not understand about how this is supposed to work?? And of course everyone else at self checkout had to wait if they had a problem because the attendant was scanning and bagging for that fool. This is our society now.
Or, you get to stand and wait for them to finish their TikTok or Instagram or Facebook post when all you wanted to do is grab a 6 pack of beer and get out. The funny part is, I got carded with a grey beard hanging half way down my chest. Yep, no kid left behind!

A few years ago, I was in town and wife asked me to pick up some maraschino cherries for something or other she was making. That was the only thing I was buying. Checkout lady asked me for ID. Told her I didn't know what the minimum age for buying cherries was but I hoped 48 was good enough. She said it had been a long day. We laughed. I was allowed to purchase the cherries.

After I came home from my vacation with Uncle Sam, one day I walked in to state store and picked up a couple bottles of wine. A lovely and very well endowed young Lady was behind the counter. She rang me up and asked for ID. I said that I was over 21, and came back from over seas. She however insisted on seeing my ID. Looking at it I noticed her writing something down, I asked if there was something wrong, and a sweet smile said no I just wanted your address I ll get your number later. I guess she must have forgot :(
