Most of the consumable shopping in this home is done by me. I'm retired and have sufficient available time, and the other half is busy working at her daytime job. Grocery shopping really isn't a totally zero activity, and I typically start out about 7 AM. The obvious rationale here is to avoid larger crowd contacts. No great surprise to find the majority of folks in stores these early hours are in the aged 65+ demographic.
I've recently noted an increased number of aged twenty-to-thirty somethings out walking around in those earlier morning hours, walking somewhere and seemingly not dressed for a job. Perhaps some of these early walkers are employed as night-staff by some local firm... I'll give you that possibility... but I think not. A growing number of these working-age walkers appear to be what used to be called classic welfare cases, seemingly living on public or pseudo-public charity and/or opting for the parasitic life sponging off relatives and likely living in a link's basement.
There was a time when the general population had to work for necessities or things they wanted. Could this apparent unwillingness to work be the new normal for what seems to be a growing number of able-bodied USA residents?
Another reason I typically shop in the early morning light. Pray tell -- where do you think this Walmart shopper is employed?
