[quote=Anonymous][quote=ddintysons]Often, during the weekday I will see these older men (early to mid 70s) walking around the McLean Giant.  They are very well dressed and dignified.

They are wearing the clothes I believe they wore when they worked (suit, tie, nice hat).  They very friendly and seem to know all of the people who work at the store.  They will stop and chat with the man stocking she soup section and discuss the Redskins, their kids, etc. with him like they are old friends.

The well-dressed older men ("WDOM") walk slowly and behind their carts and usually have very little in them, even though they appear to go up and down every lane.

I am a 53 year old man and I believe that the WDOMs are there because they miss work, the ritual of dressing up and going someplace to do something during the day.  I believe they missing talking to people, having things to do, being a part of something.

Do you know a WDOM?  Am I right? Or do men of a certain age just like dressing up for the McLean Giant?[/quote]

I've seen them too.  Also see old ladies and some older couples dressed to the nines in Mclean Giant.  It's an interesting place to shop.[/quote]
