Unfortunately, I bet a whole bunch of those geriatric greeters at Wally
World (and "Demo Dollies", too!) "have" to work that job or take other
forms of employment. It's a sad state for many elders (in the US) on
social security and/or other types of fixed pensions because they have
no choice and need to work to supplement their meager incomes.
Retirement is not an option for them, although I'm quite sure they'd
much rather enjoy their "golden years." It's unwise to assume they're
there to get out of their homes just for the fun of it, although that is
sometimes the case.
