I was given a budget of $30 as a 13 year old, to get the groceries for the family, and I looked at the prices, and calculated all the stated prices in my head, plus the sales tax.
Kid’s the big loser, with all that high fructose corn syrup, chemicals, processed foods, saturated fats.
He’ll learn eventually. Or die, trying.
Twelve? I remember buying groceries at 8. I know candy bars were a nickel and balloons were a penny. Popsicle was seven cents.
Did he purposely ram his cart into other customers carts? Is that the kid?
I lasted about 30 seconds. These influencer attention whore videos make me want throw up.
The family are like Laurel and Hardy.....not my taste even a little. Easy to shut it down after his first line. But I suppose he’s the next you-tuber who hopes to make money selling himself acting stupid.
“I looked at the prices, and calculated all the stated prices in my head, plus the sales tax.”
Me too. Used to have the exact money and change in my hand ready for when the cashier would announce the total, then get a laugh at their expression.
If the father is there, then how is the kid shopping alone?
When I was 11 years old I made a section in a store (in the fifties) and made the payment weekly until I paid in full.
My contempt for govt started young.
At 12 y.o., I was riding my bike to the Majik Market to pick up some Beech-Nut Wintergreen.
I worked retail for a short time back in the early 80s.
This one guy would come in to shop the weekly sales and would always add up the items ahead of time so he knew how much it was going to cost before he checked out. Problem is he always forgot to include sales tax, and he would get hacked off about it.
