When I was a kid, my mother taught me to be unfailingly polite and deferential to senior citizens. But now that I am a senior citizen, do I still have to? The question arises because I recently moved into a neighborhood in Sacramento, Calif., largely populatedby folks who retired sometime during the Reagan administration. College Greens, located adjacent to the campus of Sacramento State University, was built in the late 1950s and the early ’60s and many of its original residents haven’t left. And they all shop at Raley’s, a Sacramento-based supermarket chain with a large store nearby. So to linger at this particular Raley’s is to risk life and limb from kamikaze electric shopping carts piloted by older folks who left their bifocals at home/Steve Crump, Twin Falls Times-News.

Question: Do you have to be respectful and differential to Seasoned Citizens if you already are one?
