ok ive been working at my previous job for the holidays to fill my time left empty by school and this guy came in. the guy is prob in his 60s or 70s and is an afro american (black). anyways the guy could seriously not read or write. i had to fill out his shipping form for him and then i had to fill out his check. the guy was dressed pretty nicely and was driving a new altima or maxima. whats up with that?
p.s. have you guys ever come in contact with someone over the age of 7 that could not read or write?

Oh, wow, he told you.... and here I am thinking you have to be able to read and write to function in life, or at least support yourself. And I am always surprised how many people leave the house without their glasses, id, and money.

i did leave it blank and the thought did cross my mind while i was having him sign it, not that i was thinking of actually doing it, but i did think it sure woulda been easy to put a larger amount on there and make it to me.

How do you suppose he got his drivers license? 
I would hope you just met the worlds laziest human, as opposed to someone who lived into his 60's with so little self dignity he didn't bother to educate himself that much.

yeah it would be a little hard to pass a license test without reading. i really think he was serious though, a lot of people are lazy and dont wanna fill out the form, but not filling out the check, thats a little much
