Just because you are XX does not mean you get to spend ten minutes in front of the milk case checking the expiration date on every single blasted gallon of milk and then comparing the prices of the X% and the X% and the nonfat while literally eight people pile up behind you waiting for you to get done and choose your stupid carton of milk. Just because you are older does not give you the right to inconvenience everybody else. (And no, I am not talking about the XX year old great-great grandma with the walker who deserves to take her time, I'm talking about the healthy XX year old who walks just fine but is still oblivious to everyone else.)
