For real, old farts need to just roll over and D I E. They apparently have nothing better to do than cruise around stores all day--Kroger, Walmart, etc.----and whine and cry and bitch abut high the prices have gotten since they were 17.
Hey Gramma and Grampa Colostomy Bag: It ain't 1931 any more. Grow a garden. Adopt a pet, but either way, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

"Yeah, and pennies aren't made of copper anymore... and there are no silver in quarters, either. Prices aren't more money is just worth less, old man."

And we too will become old one day, probably griping about the same things.
In fact, it scares me to death thinking about what things will be like at that point in time.
Kroger will have become self-aware and will terminate any courtesy clerk that does not bag two registers at one time or bring in a quota of shopping carts each hour. Also, managers will have all emotions removed through complicated surgery and will work without question or thought. Plus, Soylent Green will be available in the canned goods aisle for 10 for $10.
alas but Nocturdia misses the point . One major thrill an old retred person gets is going out in the community and harass/clog up the retail system. Imagine you fast forward 40 years.. your physical body is shot from all the years of pounding those concrete based floors and`reptetetive motions. (Retail is all about finding people susceptible to monotonous work and low cerebral activity for the lowest hourly wage they can get u to work for. ) Okay ur body is shot and ur mind is going too.. u dont have enough money to move to Ft Myers so just to get out of ur house or assisted living center u create daily shopping trips to Walmart or Kroger or the mall. U could care less about getting in some young dead end kid's way and u require more customer service than 5 younger shoppers- plus you bring down the average sale per customer that is a marker on your boss's bonus..LOL>>Now Let's look at the flip side of ur complaint You are stuck in the muck and the mire of Retail Hell- in spite of the superficial claims that you like ur coworkers and love ur work, deep down inside you subconsciously hate your career choice and know that the older u get the more non-rewarding and financially unsound your career will become. It's all` a game and the days of retail careers being a lifelong well paying career are long over. At some point anyone in retail that has a family and house and a couple cars will need to work two 28 hr a week jobs just to stay one step ahead of the repo man. Oh and let's not forget the great Obamacare insurance that you'll have to ante up for. The future is very bleak and unless ur just using ur job for cash while u pursue a college degree or other technical training . So what's the moral of this story: Don't be a Hater of Old People that made it to the Finish Line and actually were able to retire _a lot of people don't make it to retirement and imagine yourself still stocking TV dinners at age 70 while some young bucks make fun of u and gripe about how u r just in the way and should just go ahead and DIE!
Funny..the older one are usually the most sweet genial people ever. Sorry for your bad luck. Moreover, since I will soon be eligible for S.S. and work my ass off, please go do yourself Skippy!
Some older people are awesome. I had one lady a couple days ago who was just.so.happy. to have me slice her bread for her, she was all smiles with me and everything.
Then you have others who threaten to ride their scooters all the way across the street to Walmart just because we're out of one flavor of little pies.

Umm, they have access to better meds than most. Sometimes the meds work and sometimes not!
Just make sure your toes are clear when they take off in the scooter.
