It's official. Call the dogs & put out the fire - this gal is done. I've lived too long and just can't take it anymore.

My cell phone store refused CASH this afternoon. Yes, you read that right. I'd gone to purchase MH a new phone and they refused good old green US federal reserve MONEY. What is this world coming to? YES, I came home and ordered it online as I already have my bill set up to pay with my credit card and NO it doesn't make sense that I'll do that but not use my credit card in the store but I manage my bills by paying as I go as much as possible and by golly this is the USA when did CASH become an unacceptable form of payment??

I'd already stood there for at least five minutes tolerating the most INANE display of unprofessionalism I'd seen in a long while. One of the guys had returned from a Starbucks run with a huge mochacrappacino thing and the other guy from the back came out and in the middle of our business transactions interrupted and started begging for HIS break so he could go make a 'bucks run'. The sales person waiting on me was obviously in charge of him as she made the final decision in the negotiations. I just shook my head. She asked 'what?' and I said 'I can't believe what I just saw. Even my grandson knows 'Never interrupt BUSINESS!'

Next - grocery store. Checking out the clerk noted my selection of multiple bottles of mint water and asked 'are these any good?' Now, this isn't like I'd just bought a 12 pack of beer, soda, or donuts, all encased in a single 'gathering'. This is 12 individual bottles of varying flavors picked off the shelf ONE BY ONE. I squelched my desire to say something snarky and replied 'Gee, I hope so.' But the guy in the line behind me couldn't contain himself. "Well, obviously they are for her to pick out that many..."

I get the whole 'chat up the customer' thing ~ but ... duh!

Grand Prize though? Returning home I asked my grandsons to bring in my groceries and while they were doing so I was standing w/MH's old phone in my hand gesturing as I did my 'can you believe the no cash' old lady rant to my StepDaughter. My grandson walked up, saw the phone and asked..


Wait for it...


'Hey, Nana, did you get a new phone?'

That's it. Lock the door. Shut the lights. I'm outta here.

Probably ~ again, did the old folks feel that way about 'us' when 'we' were teens/twenties? Did they feel the country was going to heck in a handbasket worrying about us? Eh, what are you gonna do?
