Beverly works 9-to-5 and clearly doesn’t want us ‘oldies’ in the shops with her because clearly we don’t have anything better to do! It’s not like any of us have grandchildren, are still working ourselves, volunteer or do a number of other things during the day, just like everybody else.
It’s this lack of respect and understanding of the older generation that really makes us upset by this letter to the editor.
Sure, we mightn’t be the fastest at the register, or maybe some more elderly people have trouble walking at the lightning speed this woman wants to go, but we certainly don’t deserve to be ridiculed like this.
The comments on social media about this letter (particularly this post) range from calling out Beverly for her ignorance, to agreeing with her.
Here’s a selection of the better comments:
Today, we want to know: what you would say to Beverly?
