Worked at a video rental store in the late 80’s. A rare adult negro entered and wanted to sign up for a membership. It required filling out an index card, and I watched her struggle to copy letters from her drivers license onto the card. After awhile, I told her I could enter the info into the computer right off her ID while she shopped for a movie. I had never seen an adult that couldn’t read.
A few weeks later she came in with her 4 kids that ranged from about 10 to 17. They wanted to reserve, ‘Predator’. I pointed at a ledger and told them to write the movie, their name, and the date they wanted to watch it. The oldest kid took a shot at it, and couldn’t do it. Couldn’t write ‘Predator’, didn’t understand how to convey a date. I’ll never forget that day.
