Have you noticed how long it takes to get through a line of a couple of people at stores these days? It takes forever. But the worst is when you go to a drug or grocery store. Even though there might only be one old person in front of you, it might take the better part of a day to get to the cashier.
The first problem is cash. Old people don't carry it any more now that the government has direct deposit.
The second problem is that a debit card transaction is no longer just "punch in your pin". They got choices - and the old people read every goddam word and then think about it for a while. "Hmmm, do I want cash back? Back from what? Isn't this a card? Why are my pants wet?". All this takes too much time.
So the next time you are in a store and see a bunch of lines, thank the old people. They are over their heads and are costing us all precious efficiency.
Thanks Obama.
