There’s this elderly woman—probably close to 60—who still works at a grocery store I visit occasionally. Every time I go, she says strange things to me. At first, I thought she might just be senile. Out of curiosity, I checked the Google reviews for the store, and sure enough, there were a lot of complaints. Many people mentioned the same thing: the old woman seems senile and should have retired a long time ago.
It looks like the store can’t find enough staff, so they keep her on. Most of the other workers appear to be foreign as their English is broken.
This kind of situation seems increasingly common in Canada. I’m seeing more and more elderly people still working when they clearly should be retired.
Can you imagine being the owner in that position? It’s a very sad situation. I try to avoid going there now—especially since I’m not a fan of being randomly hugged by a grocery store employee who thinks I’m her long-lost grandson.
