MATH FROM THE 1950's UNTIL NOW

Wife and me were in grocery store with my 15 years kid and I said I'll unload the cart so I could add up how much it was going to cost (back when they put prices on every item). Kid you can't do that you'll be way off, the cart was full. I told him I'd be within $5. No way! Well I was within $2.
Don't you just hate shopping in a store where they don't place prices on things. I'll look it over, look on the shelf, and if I don't see a price, I'll put it back.
Then when the cashier ask if I found everything ok, I'll reply with " I would have bought a lot more if there were prices marked on things!"

Society has become way to reliant on electronics. If we ever have a energy meltdown of some kind, there will be a lot of people in trouble!
 
I have thought I should carry the stuff to the clerk and tell them I am trying to pick out some thing but the items are not priced and after they go and price stuff buy one item or leave them all and walk out
