Grocery store manager humiliated elderly veteran for counting coins—triplets exposed shocking ageism

Описание: When Michael Thompson took his 7-year-old triplet daughters grocery shopping, they witnessed something that would expose the cruel reality of ageism in America. At the SaveMart checkout counter, 82-year-old veteran William Martinez was publicly humiliated for the "crime" of counting his money slowly.
The cashier sighed with impatience. The manager demanded he step aside. Other customers made cruel comments about his trembling hands and deliberate pace. All because an elderly man on a fixed income needed extra time to count his Social Security money carefully.
But when store employees tried to force Mr. Martinez away from the checkout line, three innocent children asked the questions that silenced every adult in that store.
