If your item doesn’t fit on the sensor, the device has a meltdown and a real person has to come and soothe it. Then try paying! Do this. Don’t do that. Insert card. Leave card in. TAKE CARD OUT! TAKE CARD OUT! Then it has the nerve to say “thank you for shopping at Screw The Customer!

I remember during the great inflation in the 1970's, you could find canned goods with different prices. Prices were rising so fast that older stock on the shelves had lower pricing. It made the customer check all the prices on an item and select the cheapest one if you knew the secret.

They weren't rescued. They were released because the Iranians knew Reagan was no pussy like Carter so it's no coincidence that they released the hostages the day Reagan was inaugurated. There was a rescue attempt nicknamed Operation Eagle Claw which ended in disaster.

My first paycheck job was when I was 16. I bagged groceries (one choice, paper) and sorted the soda bottles people returned for deposit into wooden crates (like the barber shops used for booster chairs) in the back. The ladies at the checkout pretty much had all the prices in the store memorized. The cigarettes were not locked up, just at one of the front end caps. The checkout ladies knew everyone's kids, so we could grab a carton right out of the rack and pay for it. If you were old enough to ride a bike, you could buy a carton of cigarettes, as that was one of our weekly chores we did for our parents. None of the products in the store had any kind of safety seal on them. The bathroom in back was just a step above an outhouse, and just a few feet from where the produce manager prepped food to go on display (I don't miss that part). The specials of the week were hand painted on butcher paper and taped to the front windows. The front entry and exit doors had rubber mats in front of them. But be careful not to go too fast, sometimes the door would open slowly. I feel like I grew up on a different planet.

🛑🛑 I still remember my Mom and Dad pulling into the gas station, and the Service Station Attendant would walk up the drivers side window and say…. “filler up”? And my parents would say…. “just $2 dollars worth”. 💴 but that’s when gas was 25 cents a gallon…😂👍 WOW!!! Gone Are The Good Old Days!! 😂🤷‍♂️💯👍

I remember all of these. 77 years old in August.

I REMEMBER ALL THESE THINGS I WAS BORN IN 56 I MISS THOSE DAYS GOOD MEMORIES LOVE ALL THESE THINGS

I remember ALL those things. Golden days for this Golden Girl!!
