Or someone with a phone…..and no restaurant.

How about No Phone and No Restaurants. All closed and no way to find one that is accepting patrons.

In California, if you are heading to a restaurant…..bring a sack lunch.

Waiter annoyed I did not have a phone to read the QR code for the menu.

A truly shocking video would be Trump being graceful . Nah can’t happen

Interesting statement. Did the patron have no phone or did the restaurant have no phone?

The horror…the horror…

A new problem with old age, I have many internet accounts and had need of one a couple of weeks back, it was a financial site I don’t use very often. They have decided that name and password is no longer safe enough, as a second layer of protection, they will send a code to your phone. The phone they want to send the code to is a land line. So sorry, my phone can’t get text messages.

I had to wait for Monday to get this fixed.

I really hate being forced to upgrade when thing have worked so smooth for so long. We do have a cheap flip phone, but I never figured we needed it for that purpose.

These days, someone just “inside” a restaurant" would make a shocking video!

Shocking! Someone at a restaurant!

Got a call from the doctor. Said I had an appointment. Wanted me to download an app so we could do the appointment remotely. When I said I didn’t have a smart phone, the receptionist didn’t know what to do.

I live in a country where the major source of income is cell phone theft. Consequently, I rarely, if ever, carry mine in public.

I once got held up by some young ladrone who couldn’t believe I didn’t have a cell phone or any money on me.

I explained that I was retired – which explained the lack of money – and I was married and my wife did all the talking for both of us.

The thief gave me a dollar and offered me one of his cell phones!

It is funny to see old movies where the important someone is at a fancy club and gets a phone call. The maître d’ brings out a phone with a long cord and plugs it in behind the table.

eat at home

How about a restaurant without a flat screen tv?

GASP!

BELIEVE IT OR NOT. On the weekends, I never use my smart phone.

That would be me…. while I do have a pay-as-you-go flip phone, I very rarely carry it on my person (it stays in the vehicle) and it only gets turned on when I need to make a call out (or recharge the battery). Only got the bloody thing because you can’t find pay phones any more. Anyone that want to talk to me can call my landline and speak to the answering machine (I screen all my calls at home). Most hang up when the machine picks up and that doesn’t bother me in the least.

This is Saturday’s Comic Strip. Where is Sunday’s Comic Strip???

Where is the Sunday strip?…..

I eat out alone. My phone occupies the time between order and arrival of my food. Otherwise I would have to look around watching people eat, a most disgusting way to pass the time.

no sunday strip?

I have a “Made for old people cell phone”. I don’t mind using it but really hate being seen with it!
