I was at a kroger gas station yesterday and a old couple pulled up at the same time as me, they were on the other side of the pump so I could hear everything they talked about. So they couldn’t figure out how to swipe their Kroger card to get I think 10 cents off gas. Then they couldn’t figure out how to use their credit card to pay for the gas. Apparently paying at the pump prior to filling up is inconceivable to some people. They had to get the gas attendant both times to help them.

When i first heard them having trouble trying to swipe their Kroger card I was about to go over and help them, but just listening to them think it out was too hilarious for me to go over. We both started at the same time, I filled up 14+ gallons and drove away the second time they got the attendant out to help them with their credit card. Im actually really glad I didn’t help them, because I was in a rush and flat out didn’t have time to deal with their incapabilities. Once I saw this thread it made me immediately think of TTE.

So I started thinking can you consider old people (75+) stupid? I mean if it wasn’t for the fact these people were old you would think it was a retarded kid trying to fill up his mom’s car. It didn’t seem like dementia or anything. It just seemed like these old people just had a significant diminished mental capacity.
