I was thinking that too... who wouldn't offer to tie the old guy's shoe for him? Sad state we're in, huh? Up is down.

At least many of us weirdoes are together. Does that make it better or worse?

I agree, that this shouldn't be an issue. That said, it's one of the reasons we shop at Publix. When my wife goes with our 19mo son, they can't do enough to help her out. Their motto is 'where shopping is a pleasure' and I can't recall ever having a negative experience in decades of shopping with them.

Sad comment on society when something like this, which even 30 years ago would have been unremarkable, is so remarkable to people now.

I must be a wierdo. I would tie the old man's shoes without a second thought. So...here's a young man who's coherent enough and caring enough to help out an old guy and it goes viral. Ok...
