Seriously? You think that the reason old ladies take so long to open
their purses, search for their wallets and then looking for their money
is that they do the shopping and their husbands are not doing the
shopping? Really? Do they buy apples or oranges?

I do keep my eyes open at the checkout, and I am at the checkout
frequently because I do most of the shopping, and the reason I do most
of the shopping is that I do most of the cooking and know what I want
and need. My comments were based on years of experience. I have
noticed that men often have their cash or card in hand before the final
items are rung up, something I rarely see women doing, and it is older
women especially who wait until the very end before the even start to
try to open their purse.
