Then they opened on Sundays, and if I recall, my folks were all “WHAT is this world coming t- …Hey, we need milk.” :wink:

You know you’re getting old when the teens of today is starting to wear the clothes and accessories that was popular when you where in High school.

It’s surreal, today’s kids/teens and young adults (my daughter included) looks like copies of the cool kids when I was in High school.

YES. The grocery store here knows who, or what age demographic, shops when - and plays the top 40 soundtrack of their youth. The after work hours? Well last week it was Caribbean Queen, She’s an Easy Lover, something by Huey Lewis and the News…
I don’t think it made me buy more… :expressionless:
