I think boomers are probably the ones taking it most seriously, as old people are too scared of going out for fear of catching it and young people think they don't get it and continue like nothing's happening.

I think across the board people aren't taking it as seriously as they should, with older people who may not have the information and younger people who are selfish being the ones that aren't taking it seriously enough. I've definitely seen a change in that over the last few days because it is getting significantly more serious. It probably doesn't help to blame one group of people or an other. We just need to all work together to get through this as it continues to worsen. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking online for a new(er) Tacoma, but until is see something that i like, i wont go. And even when i do, i start with numbers, and take it from there. Dealerships always want to get you in the car first, so when you get back to the dealership you have already opened your wallet because of all the cool stuff the car did, like get you from point A to point B. 12 hours ago, tarponhead said: Watch new porn.

Schif Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Update: my place of work is still going strong. I just keep washing my hands a lot and stay in my corner of the room which is thankfully pretty far away from other people. It's not really too concerning for me to come into work right now because I really just keep to myself over here but I feel for the people who are working down on the production floor. It's a lot more dense with people down there in a factory setting and they are constantly touching the machines and passing papers around.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 JFDan I looked it up and 31% of US transactions are cash. I think most of the cash transactions are made by some older people who don’t believe in credit/debit cards. My former delivery guy never even used an ATM machine cause he said he didn’t want to pay the interest so he would go into the bank to get cash. Hospitality workers who get tips are always spending cash..also super low income people who don’t have credit cards or bank accounts. Some I’ve noticed also use cash for very small purchases..I’ll use credit card for a pack of gum especially cause that’s my only option if I’m not carrying cash.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) JFDan some people like to shop..test drive..figure out if they can afford payments. I’m not one of those. Are people at your work not practicing social distancing? I’m the only person at work..delivery driver is making deliveries and office manager working from home. In another week or so the government might make us stay home except to go to the grocery store or pharmacy.

People with not enough to do lack vision. In my area yes, about 35-40% cash. It’s interesting to see the other store in the “city” and it’s about 10% less.
