Yes, I remember, I'm the same age as you and when I worked in a bank we, the girls, could open the front door to the public for the first time. We were also asked if we would like to study for bankers exams (unheard of before) Sounds like the middle ages, doesn't it?

I agree with you. I never feel old until I remember just how far we have come and how things have changed. But luckily that feeling only last for a minute or two.

I was told I could establish credit with a department store card before they would ever consider giving me a major card in my own name. So I got the credit card.. with a $100 limit. OOOOkay.

Boy.... I think I know one person that would have been thrilled if they had just done this in reverse for her.... not given credit to her ding dong!

great memory!

Oh man, I would have lost my cool. Everyone says, "Oh, but it was a different time. You don't understand." But I don't care. I still would have told the woman off.
