coupon center. I got out my CVS card connected to my keychain (still in my hand from taking the keys out of the ignition) and scanned it. I then stood there quietly waiting for any coupons offered that day.

Walking in right behind me was an man and his wife. I would say they were about 65-70 years I can only assume that the man stopped to watch me because this is what followed:
Woman: "I guess we should have one of those cards."
Woman: "Do you think we should have one of those cards?"
Woman: " I don't know know where mine is."
Woman: "Do you really think it matters?"
Woman: "It's not worth it. It's more trouble that it's worth."
Did you notice how many times the man spoke? In the meantime, I received $4.00 in extracare bucks from the coupon center for standing there for 15 seconds.
A few observations:
1. This woman was clearly having a some internal confusion/guilt for not using a CVS card. It's not weird to use coupons these days and at some level she must know that.
2. Getting paid $4.00 in 15 seconds is the equivalent of being paid an hourly wage of $960.00.
3. This man thinks woman who attempt to save money are worth staring at.
