Pensioner day in the supermarketFollow

I forgot that wednesday is pensioner day and they all invade the supermarket. I must feed the house and so popped out to shop and met a queue of pensioners.

I hate them! I really do! Why is it that pensioners cannot pack their own bags? Why is it that when asked to pay a look of surprise comes over their faces. Oh sorry dear, did you have your shopping for free the last 60 years? WHY IS THIS A SURPRISE YOU NEED TO PAY!!!???? Smiley: banghead

Do pensioners come with speed reducing trolleys? I swear they do, I hope when I am 65(ish) I am not walking down the aisles at 1 mile an hour blocking everyone from moving past in the worst pair of support tights I have ever seen.

Why is it that people start as children, need support and help and .. why is it that so many pensioners see it fitting to become like children in old age? Bleh! I love my Nan, she has the right attitude, independant till the last. People 10 years YOUNGER than her tell her they wish they were *young* like her. It is all attitude.

So, to all people on this board, DO NOT GROW OLD! DO NOT walk at 1mph in supermarkets. Do not act suprised when asked to pay for groceries and please, please ... just do not give up and become the walking zombies I saw today Smiley: frown

My favorite is when they get to the bttom of the escalators, then just stand there blocking the whole thing.

But just think some are losing thier minds, thru disease or a life time killing brain cells. I do not think they can help it.

Just think how sad it is for some of them who can remember what it was like before they started losing it.

Back in high school when I worked as a cashier we had special days for the elderly where they got a 10% discount on all purchases.The only drawback was it ended at 4 o'clock pm. If they were in line, and it turned 4:01, they were out of luck - the register would no longer accept the discount code.

I got screamed at by so many angry grandparents that it made me wanna jump off of a bridge.

Actually, I prefer shopping with the old folks to accidentally showing my face in the grocery store at the first of the month. That's trailer park trash week in my neck of the woods. Ticks me off every time I see em, too. I have no problem with my tax dollars supporting those who are unable...it's just those who are unwilling that get on my nerves.

Shut the f'uck up you ignorant *****.


Gee, maybe the people that you're so pissed off at actually suffer from some of the hundreds of thousands of ailments that afflict the elderly.

Some people are lucky enough to retain their good health well into old age, and some are not. I hope that when you are as old as the people you so harshly criticize that you are treated with a little more respect by your ******* grandchildren.

Such compassion you have.


Idiot.

Yeah! Lay off the elderly Jennock! *******!

Now where did I put my wallet?
Gosh aren't you people looking younger every day!
Did I tell you about my son? What? Pardon? I did? Well let me tell you again anyway.
Ooh! I just remembered my cod-liver oil capsules. Which aisle are they on young man? What? Pardon? You people don't mind waiting do you? I'll be back within the hour!
Now where did I put my wallet?
