I just ran to Target to pick up a couple things--didn't even need a cart. The teenage girl at the express check out was pleasant and friendly--such a soft voice and quick in her conversation. Before she rang up my first purchase, she said something and looked at me for a response. I wasn't sure that there was a problem so I just looked back, at which point she repeated her question. Now I heard, but not sure I understood asked her "I'm sorry, what?" Then she asked me again whether I wished to have a gift receipt for the little blender I was buying. I explained that it was indeed for me and no receipt was necessary. After scanning my next three items, she asked me another question, and I asked "WHAT?". Did I have a red card? WHAT is a red card? She politely explained and although I didn't hear everything she said, I noticed that the screen on the counter had a picture of the Target charge card (red, ohhh). I politely declined and paid for my purchases.
Since I couldn't hear her, I am not sure whether she said thank you, have a nice day or "old people--probably going home to take out the dentures and use your blender to mash up you food, --just get a hearing aide already". I'm relieved they no longer ask whether you want paper or plastic, or I might still be there!
