i dread visiting local grocery store

Today, grocery store a block away from where i live---no five percent off senior citizen discount, from $15 bill, and my change silently handed back to me.


There could be 3 or 4 customers in front of me, and all given "thank you" when leave cashier, and I routinely get silent treatment.  At the walmart in another town the door greeter would turn his head away from me, with me hearing "hi, have a nice day" to person in back of me from door greeter.


Something about me really turns such people off.  Maybe they hate older people riding a bike (I had that nonsense in my hometown), or think I'm gay, or don't like my pale skin (from being a red head, now gray hair).  I'm not a fancy dresser, but a lot of redneck lowlifes in dirty clothes get treated nicer (if only out of fear; I've seen some small-time criminals get treated with respect).


I really need to...forever...order everything online, including groceries, from local Walmart.  And I like self-checkouts too, for above reasons.   Buy locally, and from small businesses has always been bad news for me; go billion dollar corperations!
