-If picking someone up at the airport do you wait in the cell phone parking lot and wait for them to call you? Never did that
-If flying somewhere have you used the valet parking service? Nope. Our "valet" service was step daugher and SIL dropping us off and leaving our car at their house, saving a fortune.
-You are at a drug store lunch counter. What would you order for lunch? Grilled bacon and cheese sandwich and fries

-You are at a drug store lunch counter. What would you order for lunch? No idea. Haven't seen a drug store lunch counter since I was a kid.
-Ever get something to eat at a Costco snack bar? Never ate at one. Haven't been in one since the 1980s when I was still married.

No. -Encouraged by teachers to skip school. Only the Home Economics teacher. She didn't encourage skipping school but she did say I was the worst student she ever had in her 23 (I think that was the number) years of teaching when we were doing sewing. Thank God, the second half of that semester covered cooking so I could at least pull my grade up to a C. -Other.
