[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 2109807, member: 5800"] This is a little off topic, but I'll share my opinion. I was in a motorcycle wreck about a year and a half ago with a 78 year old lady that apparently had trouble with driving. She did not appear comfortable behind the wheel, and did not look for traffic. I wonder if I'd still have 100% use of my left arm had someone got her to "hang it up". It's not to say SHE doesn't have lots of good life experience as a person, mother, grandmother, etc etc, but there comes a time when a person is not capable of driving well, and that has permanently changed my life. As in the above example, working retail takes a certain skill set, such as being able to work the computer, retrieve the right products and other functions in a way that is efficient for the customer. I think the original point is not at all to discredit their experiences, their wisdom, or anything else. But again, if I am a consumer and I have my choice of standing in a slow line when I have other stuff or not....well, I will choose "not." There is a fine line in balancing respect for our elders and also accounting for correct execution of job functions in the modern world. Perhaps this does not reflect so much upon that particular gentleman, as it does to the rest of the team for not helping to cover, or watch for issues and help out along the way. Not saying I have a right or wrong answer, just my opinions. [/QUOTE]
