It's a Sign of the Times

wrist watch ,,, should probably know what that is .

Should have said it's life a smart watch just dumber. As far as the cash conversation, we prefer cash at my part time job so we don't have to pay fees and neither does the customer.

Not long ago. I bought a couple of things at Walmart. That totaled 15.50. I gave her a 20.00 bill. And 50 cents. She had no idea what to do. She said I gave her too much money. I explained to her that I wanted 5.00 back. She had to get her manager for help. HE didn't understand either. Gave up. And paid with my debit card.

I really love the struggle when I put down green backs and they ring it up before I get the change out.

I can attest to those gas / service station antics. We all pumped gas or had a buddy who worked at a station.
We carry cash to avoid 3% CC charges. Started writing more checks now. How many of those youngsters can write out $4605.34?
My wife is tech challenged. She really wanted a printed manual for the new range. Nowadays you get a QRL. All I can tell her is it's different world.

My turn:

Shopping at SuperStore (just a big supermarket) and I couldn't find Cheese Whiz.

Asked one girl (20 something) who is one of those pickers who fill phone orders and she looked like the proverbial deer in the headlights

Oh gawd, said thanks and two minutes later asked another (different picker/same age). I even showed her a picture of the jar and she directed me to the deli section thinking it was real cheese.

Neither had a clue/didn't even know what it was.

Where do they find these people?
