The Piggly Wiggly saga continues

Y'all remember me telling you Friday about the old-timer in the Piggly Wiggly using his banking card for the first time?
HERE in case you missed it.

Yeah. Gramps must've been so pissed at his old woman that he hired her out to Piggly Wiggly because when I went in there Saturday morning they had a new cashier that's about as old as he was, and she felt it was necessary to give me step by step instructions on how to use my debit card. 
She kept calling me 'young man'. I'm a 63 year old graybeard. I kept calling her ma'am.
As I was leaving, everybody I passed, bagboys and cashiers young enough to be my fucking grandkids, all smiled and told me, "Have a good rest of your day, young man."

      I think we need to add a trademark to our name: KTSFC™

      Bad day in a small town beats a good day in the big town. I was at Tractor Supply the other day and and asked where the rubber gloves were. The guy said considering who you are I would expect you to know. I left there wondering who he thought I am. Still don't 3

    I have heard 'young man' more since I turned 59 than I had in the previous years.

    You should have declined the help using the debit card.
    Show how to pay with a check.
    Excellent penmanship, crisply torn from the checkbook after entering the details in the check register...
    Boomer style.

    I'm 70, and got called "junior" a few days ago by a guy on a dirt bike. Turned out he's 93.

    Pay the ol’ gal in cash…watch the “grandkids” lose their tiny minds when she makes change without having to consult the machine.

    Us senors were raised right and polite. I always address pretty young ladys as Ma'am" before I ask 'em if they'd like to pet the mouse in my trouser pocket.

    I would have been tempted to refer to her as "young ma'am".
    Turnabout is fair play.

    Wonder if she gets an employee discount on food purchases?
    That might quiet Grampa down a smidge.

    Some years ago (I was sill 60 or so), I went to MacD's for a coffee on the way to work. The woman at the window addressed me as "young man" as she handed me my change and coffee. I laughed and remarked on how long it had been since anyone had called me young. She chuckled and said she had at least a decade on me.

      Well, get yourself on down to the Piggly Wiggly and it can happen again. Better hurry though, she's pretty old.
