We all have things to do.
Mr. Adams was probably correct in his assessment of the situation, but sometimes old people just like to gab.
It’s what they do.
anyone ever been in a line where the elderly person, once a young jerk, is an old jerk? Older people who cut to the front of a line and say “I have this one ‘little’thing...” or “there is a line?”
we have families to take care of, homes to mangage, taxes to pay for all the people on the dole, volunteer work to do, church to attend, meals to prepare, children to pick up from school AND elderly relatives in need of groceries.... and to wait in a long line for extra time so someone can get some socialization in is not right....
lots of people are lonely...lots of people could benefit from extra help....its not just the elderly....
dollars to donuts if it was a little toddler at the front of the line making a fuss and slowing things down, a lot of freepers would be out with their pitch forks...
