More Milk?
Categories: Family, Kids & Friends, Shopping

I’m worried about the old man that comes into JR’s store. He always ask the courtesy clerks to help him shop with his list, and he tips them $2.00 each time. The thing is he comes in every single day, with the same exact list.

JR has even pointed out to him that he probably doesn’t need another gallon of milk because he just bought one yesterday, yet the little old man insist that since it’s on his list he needs it.

Something just doesn’t seem right about it to me, and I feel rather helpless.

It does sound like he has Alzhiemers or dementia.
is there a store manager that can be talked to to find out if he needs help?

Maybe he comes shopping on one of those ol people’s homes buses.
do you have those there?
We have so many old people who live in old people communities, and a few times a week, a bus that the community owns, drives about 20 old people to the grocery store and drugstore so they can get what they need.
If he takes one of those buses, maybe they can find out if he needs help.
I’d hate to think he keeps buying gallons of milk that are just piling up in his house and rotting.
It makes me sad. :(

I sure hope it would be something like that Kat. I will have to see if JR has the time to investigate more.

Oh that is worrisome, poor guy. :( He needs someone to go with him for sure.

I do like your plugin for the posts from past years!
