Nice!

Presumably no state issues photo ID with only a two-digit year for the birth date field, right?

Anyone remember "Y2K problem"?

Here they just have to hit a button if you are under 40. You know you are old when they don’t give it a second thought.

Here they card EVERYBODY. I’m surprised they just haven’t started scanning the barcodes on licenses.

@LuFins-Dad speaking of barcodes

im old enough to remember a time before UPC barcodes and when they were made mandatory on all items, so that mad magazine actually had a cover complaining about it

Folks, I'm old enough to remember the checkout people at a supermarket entering each price on a cash register.

How about writing all the prices on a brown paper bag with a pencil? Then adding them up by hand.

@Copper
Who, you or them?

The clerk would write the prices on the bag at the checkout.

I remember them doing that on a paper bag at a small grocery we used in Maine while on vacation. The bag was your receipt.

They also did that on the bag at a local deli.

I remember being paid in salt and trading it for ale and gruel.

Enjoy the video.

My favorite part is when she dialed the numbers and then goes "now what?" as if there is a button to actually place the call. LOL
