Do You Have A Phone and Internet Sir?

I stopped by my local drug store yesterday to pick up a script and while waiting carried on a pleasant conversation with the young lady at the window.  She loved the dogs and was asking all sorts of questions, which, if you know me, makes me very happy as I could talk about dogs all day long.

When it came time to check out, I remembered all the emails I was getting asking me to consider having my prescriptions mailed instead of having to pick them up.  Being inherently lazy this appealed to me and I asked the young woman what she could tell me about this service and where could I sign up.  She hesitated for a moment and looked at me with her most kindly and sympathetic face while asking me if I had a phone and internet.

I was a bit shocked but I recognize that age is closing in, and I expect I was beginning to look my years, but I am technologically savvy, and can even drive without glasses, regardless, the culture in America, unlike other nations such as Japan, is old people are just that—old, and they have no real sense of the world around them especially when it comes to technology.

So, I smiled at the pretty young lady and assured her I had both a phone and internet. Looking a bit surprised, she suggested I go to a thing called a ‘website’ and sign up for mailed prescriptions.  I smiled back at her without getting angry or even shaking my head, realizing at the moment that this is the way it’s going to be moving forward and there’s no reason to punch anyone in the nose for being condescending except for those who say ‘Can I help you young man’ while wearing that broad idiotic grin.  Them I still might punch in the nose, figuratively speaking of course.
