Reply to comment by ThatTinyGameCubeDisc in Walmart cashier, 82, retires after TikTok raises $100,000 by greatestmofo

Yeah this is great for this guy but there are hundreds if not thousands in the same position. I worked Walmart management after college for two years and we had two associates in their 80s and a few in their 70s. I know at least one of them was just bored in retirement and worked a couple days a week but the others just couldn't retire. A sad reality of the society we've created.

My previous job third shift stocking at a grocery store we had a guy in his mid to late 70s who was retired from a trucking company AND the airforce but still chose to work. He was bored and we think he hated his wife and didn't want to be at home

We're a nation of 300 million. There are many thousands of these and soon to be tens of millions after the GOP ends social security for those under 55.
