It is illegal in the US to discriminate based upon age. Trouble is proving it.
I hate having to buy foods in such large quantities that they go bad and I have to throw them away before I can consume it all. Everything these days seems to be "family" sized. I am just one person!
A similar thing occurs with non-food items too. It seems the varieties of items I like only come in giant packs. I don't want to spend many hours of wages for a year's supply of laundry detergent in one purchase just to get the kind that doesn't make my skin flare up.

Just now when I checked my mail, I found two misdelivered items: an Amazon package that was supposed to go to the building next door, and a piece of mail that was delivered to the right address number but the wrong street. I mean, what kind of people are Amazon and the USPS hiring these days? Delivering mail and packages to the correct address isn't exactly rocket science.
I don't know about that. Having been a delivery driver, if the customer fat fingers their address when typing, it's easy to be a block or street over from where the customer resides.
Also, and I think I've mentioned this before, the number of customers who don't know their address when asked, just baffles me.
They have to pull out their phone or wallet to get it.
It shouldn't be that hard. I know mine and the street address for the store.
I can see someone forgetting a phone number, since some people have multiple numbers...but your address? How many homes do you have to keep track of?
You've never been in military service. I would get a month-to-month rental in VA Beach after each overseas deployment to live off the ship on my own dime. Live somewhere 3 months deploy, come back, live somewhere else for a few months, deploy again.... repeat cycle. I also had a mailing address for the ship, but would change Divisions and Work Centers on the ship. When the ship went from the Atlantic/ Med we had a Fleet Post Office in New York, NY; then we went around Africa to the Gulf of Oman, just outside the Persian Gulf and the address changed to the Fleet Post Office in San Francisco, CA. Those that stay in, re-enlist and get assigned to a new command or ship also get to start the mess all over again.
I was once told by a lifelong resident of the city I live in that me knowing the names of random streets is a dead giveaway that I'm not a local because apparently lifelong residents only orient themselves by the nearest public transport stop and the specific route they're taking from there.
