Boomers, THE MILLENIALS etc 

Yesterday at a train museum, I overheard two of the model railroad club members talking.

See, younger modeler works for Safeway. Older modeler worked in a grocery store as a high schooler in the early 60s, starting at under $2/hour - four years later he was making a much larger salary and paid his way through college with it. Consequently he needs to stop and remember inflation happened whenever he heard about supermarket clerks making - his example was $10/hour.
