over 55 can afford to do jobs like cashier because they likely don't have to rent (in most cases)

Anecdotally, I know an astounding number of people over 55 that still hold a mortgage. Hell, I've known people who retired with a mortgage.

So I'm guessing that in many cases they're a cashier because if they don't work they'll lose the house.
