[quote=Anonymous]I’m only 40 but do remember a lot of these as an adult.

5 years ago I was able to find a store to get my son’s foot measured properly and could buy shoes from the salesperson. Now I go into shoes stores - footlockers, kids footlocker, Nordstrom, DSW - and cannot find a single person to measure his foot. The best I can find is a foam mat with foot shapes on it.

As recently as the aughts, I couldn’t shop in person without being asked by several people if I needed help. I do get asked at some stores how I’m doing (bookstores, along with women’s clothing brands).

Local grocery store still offers baggers! I don’t go there because most of the cashiers and baggers pointedly ignore me even when I am friendly (because they only talk to the elderly? Because they don’t like minorities?): But it is nice to have a designated bagger.

I also remember when cashiers and advice people weren’t just warm bodies. They said hello, at least forced a smile. Now it’s pulling teeth to get them to treat you like dirt and unlock a door or grab an item from behind the counter. [/quote]
