Boomers are 64 years or older. Most boomers are retired. This is just trolling
I've seen plenty of old folks working at places like this unfortunately. Social programs are really failing us
Walmart has sought out retirees, particularly for greeter positions, for a long time.
Retirement is overrated. My father “retired” nearly ten years ago and still keeps going back when his old employer offers him contracts. He’s financially comfortable, and every time he complains that “this is the last time I’m doing this”, then he goes back at the next opportunity.
60 years or older*. Plenty are still working, and not everyone retires exactly at 65. Especially these days…
I never implied 65, the retirement age in Norway is 67. But I thought Boomers were those born before 1960, so I guess I remembered that part wrong. 7 (or 5 in your country) years is a bit more than those 2 years, fair enough.
In the US, it's 65 for the Boomers, but it's been raised to 67 for the rest of us.
I see. In Norway it has been 67, since 1973 (it got lowered from 70). There has been talks about raising it to 70 again for the rest of us. I hope it won't happen.
I think generally boomers generation ends in 1964/1965 20 years after the end of the war
It's also dated 4/20. I'm amazed they didn't manage to sneak a 69 in there somewhere to get the full meme potential out of it.
It would have been so easy too! "Must be born before '69 to apply"
