My mother is about to move in with me. At 63, she's barely a senior, but sometimes, I worry about the transition to one household. Today, she received an email coupon for 40% off at a clothing store. She drove to the store, picked out a shirt, and lined up at the register to pay.
When she mentioned she had a coupon, the cashier asked to see the printout, but Mom hadn't printed it. The cashier told Mom it wasn't a problem, just pass over her phone.
My mother handed her a flip phone with a tiny green screen. It doesn't even text. For a long moment, the cashier was confused and Mom was confused. To her credit, the cashier gave back the phone and offered Mom a 20% mercy discount.
It's an interesting road ahead.
