Literally streams of people arriving in saying “the bank sent me here to print my statements, &c.” They then have to be assisted to log on to a PC, assisted to find the website, assisted to logon to their account, assisted to send the document to print, assisted with retrieving and paying for docs.

I did the math on an item that I know is identical -- men's leather boots with rubber storm king soles. In 1925, these shoes retailed for $5.50, roughly $99 in modern money.
They cost me $200 new. There are no new boots like this for under $100 at retail. So how many boots can I buy in 1925 again?

I looked for my favorite, read the description, found it completely accurate, wondered what the others would've said, and then laughed so hard.
