In the US, the "legal" age of elderly is 65 and up... the statutes of "Crimes Against the Elderly", which allow step-ups in sentencing severity, use 65 and up as the definition of Elderly.
This elderly forum member and his elderly DW heard later last night that Target would have elderly hours across the country every Wednesday, the first hour after opening. Found online that meant 8 AM around here, we went arriving just before 8. A line at the door, maybe 50 units (I'll call a "unit" as a person by themselves, or a couple standing together). About half of the units were 60 and up. Some were 20s, 30s, 40s. In fairness, did not see any signs outside that said anything about elderly hour. Seems it is in the news, and on Target's website only, not at the store itself, duh.
Got a cart, I headed for the back where milk is/was. Needed a gal. of 2% and a gal. of skim, that was our #1. A cart double-line braked to a halt about 2/3rds down the main aisle in grocery, traffic jam no moving, could see that they were very very slowly turning into one particular aisle. I thought the milk coolers were way in back still, so took a detour to get to the coolers, as did a few others, I would say all of them back there were "elderly". They did not load up on milk, just reasonable. Only brand there was what I think is a store brand, dated out 2 weeks, so was good. Whether they last before spoiling or not, don't know, their store brand was iffy here in the past like Walmart-branded milk, goes bad before the marked date. Other dairy brands always last to the date. Our experience. But needed milk, so...
Later saw that the big traffic aisle was paper towels.
Bread was totally empty. Having the elderly hour as first hour probably means no bread each time, as the bread that WOULD have been there would have been delivered later in the morning the previous day. Oh, no eggs either. Previously over the days leaving other stores, were people, younger females almost without exception, with overloaded carts with TP, paper towels, and WATER, and that's it. What do people possibly need all the bottled water for? Faucet doesn't work, or they refuse to drink water from a superior water supply, instead want to pay for bottled water often coming from same source of supply? I don't get that at all.
