The Big Suprise! Tight Budget?

 


Have you ever shopped with a calculator? I shopped with one like this from my first shopping trip for groceries the week after I married in 1962.
It was a MUST! After the two sons, it was even more a must.
I stopped with the calculator, after the first year of marriage to Bob in 1985.
If you are wondering where this is going, I saw something this past Saturday that I have never seen before in my considerable years on this earth.
Are you ready?
Get Set
Go!




I saw a Man, a Male, You know, not a female, shopping in Walmart for groceries with a CALCULATOR!
In shock, each time I met him in the store, I watched as he onehanded used the calculator, put the item in, tap in the cost. Not a cell phone, a real calculator. 
I have seen females do this my entire life but never a male.
Now I have a surprise for YOU! Or maybe NOT.
I typed the description, male shopper, calculator in hand, digital art into Bing AI
and got these four males.
As an afterthought, I should have said groceries.
Have you seen a male using a calculator to shop in grocery store?
I can't remember the last time I saw a female doing this. 
Now they don't shop for the amount they HAVE to spend, they just Charge It!
This young man, about 40, is my kind of shopper. Spending what he has to spend and spending it well.


the other three, AI created from my words.


my favorite of the four.
