Finally they listen to one of us and we can move on while they grouse about how things used to be simpler...for them, I presume.
Then other classic is the elderly cashiers who can’t seem to figure out which button on the point of purchase machine they need to press so I can speed up the line with Apple Pay. Should take two seconds and I’m out. Can take up to a minute while we all wait patiently for them to figure out what seems to be a core job skill.
I guess we all have to be patient with folks who don’t adapt to change readily.

Exactly... another thing that kind of bugs me is if you're waiting in a long line at check out, and in that 5 to 10 minutes of waiting, they don't get their cash out or their card out. Then they go to pay and spend a minute fumbling through their purse or whatever and then start looking for a card, or start counting their cash. Come on people, get your money or card out while you are waiting.
