baby boomer worst gen all time

>>6983415
Where do you think "millenials" learned their behavior from?

>>6983453
This, except with Millennials you get the added bonus of hardcore entitlement issues and pussy work ethic.

>>6983415
Boomers are the reason millennials exist

>>6983474
>muh gen x.
man i sure miss kurt.

>>6983415
Gen X, tbh. Boomers and millennials have similar consuming behavior, with millennials having a different set of entitlements than their parents.

Xers have a very large chip on their shoulder. They've had to work really hard for what they have, because they came from very little. Many never saw their parents because both worked outside the home. They raised themselves a lot of time. They went to college and came out the other end jobless and with a great feeling of hopelessness. They struggled for a long time. It ruined the attitudes of many people, because they were forever skeptical about buying, being marketed to, etc.

In short, they tend to be shitty customers because they're stubborn and tough to get into.

>>6983484

If you want to keep tabs on washed up junkies I am certain Dave Attel has an instgram or twitter to creep on.

>>6983484
Please, no one misses Kurt. There were a lot better musicians from Gen X who died back then as well.
>implying you can make us feel anything with insults, we are way too apathetic for that.

>>6983497
I thought he meant Kurt Loder.

BTW Gen Z are the worst. Fuck barely legals.

>>6983508
>Fuck barely legals.
That's the plan.

>>6983508
>I thought he meant Kurt Loder.

Okay, now that guy I miss. The golden age of music television (which is pretty much obsolete, now, I suppose.)

>>6983508

I liked Gen 1 and 2 back when I was like a lil kid and them shits had like just 150 or like 250 or some to capture and they made sense like electric rat or turtle that shoot water and then these niggas started putting all kinds of wild shit like fucking ice cream cones with eyes calling it like conemon and shit and the whole thing got messed up and i aint really been into that since

>>6983491
Never thought about that, but you may be on to something. I'm GenX, and I take a pretty dim view of consumerism and marketing, and find myself contemptuous toward advertising.

As such I'm a shitty consumer. I don't buy lots of stuff, and tend to avoid brand name products and chain stores/restaurants.

Never thought of that as being a generational thing.

Baby Boomers.
- They'll talk down to you in general if you're young.
- They'll curse you out or call you really rude names if you do something wrong.
- Old men will say inappropriate comments to younger females.
- They'll get overly angry/suspicious if a sale/sign is incorrect, and will fight for a nickel or a dime.
- Many have bad hearing and get angry both when you "mumble" or "yell" (talk normally or speak up so they can hear)
- They complain about e v e r y t h i n g like it's your fault. "the weather is too hot" "the weather is too cold" "the traffic is bad" ... Cashiers have no control over this.
- They constantly say things like, "but you used to have X" or insist they just bought something "last week" when you know for a fact that it never existed or it hasn't been in stock for the past 10 years.

Some GenX'ers are no kinder, but generally speaking I think I'd rather wait on a younger person than an older person.

>>6983629
>- They constantly say things like, "but you used to have X" or insist they just bought something "last week" when you know for a fact that it never existed or it hasn't been in stock for the past 10 years.
Holy fuck this. I worked in a warehouse for an electronics retailer and personally oversaw truck being broken, doing stock counts, and putting product out in every department in the store. Old fucks would insist they bought some garbage here "a week or two ago" and it's broken now and they want a new one, but we never sold that shit in the first place or it hadn't been sold in months if not years.

>>6983629
GenXer's are no kinder, that's true, but in a VERY different way. GenX literally has no hope. They are hopeless, apathetic, and generally hate the world and all it's issues, and hate themselves for hating everything. They are also the party generation, having grown up in the most prosperous decade ever, they can't break their vices, and thus hate themselves even more. They were lied to by their narcissist parents, who said you can be and do and have anything, and then just as they were entering the workforce, everything went to shit and they got stuck with nothing and no one gave a fucking shit. But, they actually have a strong work ethic, and being so hardened and world weary, they are and can be better parents than the boomers ever were, and better than the millennials will be. They know life fucks you over, a lesson that for many people is very hard to learn.

Can someone tell me how generations on 4chan work pls.

>>6983692
Age stereotyping. Because hating niggers, women, eurofags, and libcucks sometimes just isn't enough.

>>6983474
I see plenty of boomers with hardcore entitlement issues too. In fact I'd go so far as to say it feels worse coming from them.

>>6983698
>Because hating niggers, women, eurofags, and libcucks sometimes just isn't enough.
We just have a lot of hate to go around.

>>6983698
No, I mean wut years = wut generation
Help a nigga out fam

>implying there is any generation that can hold a candle to the one truly awful group feared and hated by anyone who has ever worked in the service industry


it's niggers.

>>6983415
Millenials are worse because they comprise the ENTIRE STAFF of every fast casual or less org and just don't care about giving good service.

This praying guy should have been attended to adequately by the Applebee staff but I'm sure they just didn't care or thought they were better than that. At least Baby Boomers participated in the great war.

>>6983730
Go to bed grandpa, no one wants to hear your war stories about how you personally kicked hitler in the nuts to end the war. The retard who got burned by the food at applebee's was a retard looking to sue for money.

>>6983730
>At least Baby Boomers participated in the great war.

Nope, try again.

>>6983491
Xers are product of their Boomer parents.

Therefore it's the Boomers fault once again.

>>6983737
Thx babe

>>6983684
>GenX literally has no hope.
>They are also the party generation
Sounds about right to me, as one of therm. I find the lack of hope liberating. If comfortable with everything being meaningless, and just losing myself in partying and chasing pleasure.

That's enough for me. I don't need any kind of meaning.

>>6983730
>At least Baby Boomers participated in the great war.

Vietnam wasn't "the great war".

>>6983730
>At least Baby Boomers participated in the great war.

>>6983415
Baby Boomers.
Kids are allowed to be a little entitled, these people are WAY TOO FUCKING OLD TO BE ACTING LIKE THIS
YOU'RE WORSE THAN YOUR OWN KIDS

Chinese are the worst of any race, of any generation. Worse than niggers and millenials and baby boomers.

>>6983783
How is being burned by fajitas acceptable based on age?

>>6983791
>of any race, of any generation
Chinese is a nationality.

>>6983792

It's not.

Praying in a restaurant is the unacceptable part.
So is being a retard and sticking your face on a hot sizzle platter.

The "being burned" isn't acceptable at all. Though it is a consequence of making the above mistakes.

>>6983848
>Praying in a restaurant is the unacceptable part.
Second Amendment you stupid motherfucker.

>>6983684
ayyy ain't that the truth

>>6983415
Given your picture anyone that goes to applebees and those types of places, from what I've read and heard it's niggers.

You should tip white people for patronizing those shitholes instead of expecting shit you fucking cunt!

>>6983474
>boomers aren't entitled

They're crying about their social security not getting a raise. Maybe you should have saved you dumb old fucks get a damn fucking job I know fuck well I'm not gonna be retiring at fucking 65 or probably at all thanks to that fucking generation

Requesting the baby boomer image that shows how they drained our natural resources and put everyone in debt.

>>6983723

In general below average intelligence humans are the worst.

>>6983919
I never said boomers didn't act entitled. They are known as the "Me" generation for a reason. However, their type of entitlement is very different from millennials. Oh god...just wait until millennials get old....fucking hell....

I was born in 1988, what generation am I in?

>>6983852
This better be bait.

>>6984039
Technically, you're a millennial. I'd say though, that you belong to that very small sub-generation, Gen Y, that came after X and before the majority of millennials. You're a cusp generation, you special snowflake, you.

>>6983852

>>6983652
>personally oversaw truck being broken
That's a job? Did you mean you personally oversaw the breaking down of the pallets?

>>6983692
They are so amorphous they could include anyone. Right now some people would consider an 18 year old a millennial aka gen y or a gen z. Depending on the definition I could be a gen x or a gen y.

>>6984064
>oversaw the breaking down of the pallets?
Yes. "Breaking truck" is (at least when I worked there) a term for unloading the truck, sorting the pallets, unpacking the product off them, sorting it into department categories, and then pushing it out to the floor. All of that is a mouth full though, so we just called it "breaking truck".

>>6983774

lolwat?

I feel like being loyal to your job and company would be great but general ever6day companies would rather have shitty min wage workers cycling through because they get to pay less for salaries and insurances . They want local level managers to run things and get pissy over hoe things are run, but they offer absolutely no fucking incentives.

Like if anjob ia for life then the company is your family and you should be treated well for your hard work.

I always start off working hard but scale back when I realize I get as much shit and as much pay as the slacker employee. Worse is when slacker employee actually does something and they get some sort of reward while I get shit for doing what I am supposed to do and more all the time.

No loyalty from me if you have no loyalty for me. I consider myself between X and millenial aka gen y.

Sorry I want to be rewarded for working hard for a company but a job isnt a fucking hobby. If I improve my skills and become very good at what I do my pay should reflect that dont just give me a pat on the back and say keep it up you fucking asshole companies.

Working in customer servcie makes me very conscious of how I act as a customer. Regularly I leave call center workers sounding happier because I am always very polite.

>>6984076
I never unloaded trucks for a living. All I did was unloaded trucks for the department I was in that night.

>>6983447
Millennials by far.

Boomers are usually understanding

Millennials will throw bitch fits in the store if they cant get the item rivht now

>>6984037

Xers are literally the generation that follows the Boomers. How do you think that happens, exactly?

you are all snake people

>>6984098
80s, dipshit. GenX were in their preteens, teens, and early twenties during the 80s. It was all keg parties, cocaine parties, mushroom parties, and excessive everything. I remember walking into a party in college, (this was in the early 90s) and there was a full size mirror covering the coffee table that was literally covered in lines for people. There was probably $3000 worth (which was a lot at that time) of cocaine laying there.
I had a friend who would regularly get "gift boxes" of drugs from her dealer, which were wrapped like a fucking Christmas present, and contained a baggie of coke, a baggie of meth, joints, mushrooms, several hits of acid, and several hits of X.
The worst trip I ever had was after my X and acid melted together in the hot car.
In high school, my friends regularly had giant bonfire and hot tub parties, fueled by alcohol that was provided by adults, with plenty of drugs that were supplied by everyone else.
All those "cliche" 80s movies like Ferris Bueller, Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, Better Off Dead, and newer ones like Hot Tub Time Machine, ALL TRUE TO LIFE. And I wasn't even living in a big city, I can't imagine the shit that went down for other people.
Guess what, Mr. Mackey is right, drugs are bad, mmmkay?

And then, we all got out of college and were faced with the reality that our parents didn't give a shit anymore, there were no job prospects, the housing market tanked, the job market tanked, and we became the generation of people just didn't give a shit because everything had turned to crap before our very eyes. We care more about fixing what's wrong with this country than we care about fixing the world.

>>6983508

It's every 20 years.

>>6984197
So a 1964 boomer gave birth to a 1964 Xer? That makes sense.

>>6984296
>Generation Z refers to the cohort of people born after the Millennial Generation. There is no agreement on the name or exact range of birth dates. Some sources start this generation at the mid or late 1990s, or from the mid 2000s to the present day.

>>6984304
Technically but how generations are really defined is by age based psychographics determined by marketers.

Just looked it up in the dictionary and they are saying 30 or 35 though I learned it as 20.

>>6984201

Sounds like someone watched That 70's Show and thought it was about boomers instead of gen x.

Baby Boomers
>Yeah, man, times were great when we were young. Too bad you kids these days had to ruin it all. Not that it matters to me and my Social Security. Fuck yours, got mine!
>Who the hell is this black person in the White House, anyway?! Dumb young fucks, can't even elect an American anymore...

Gen Xers
>W-what the hell happened when I was young.
>Whatever, shits fucked anyway and I can't do shit about it. Fuck the Boomers, but why should bother fixing their shit when it probably won't work anyway. Why even bother with anything, really...

Millennials
>Shits fucked, I need my cat pictures and over-saturated levels of comic book movies and never-ending television media and celebrity social media just to keep stable, but that doesn't always work.
>What happened to those factory jobs I heard so much about as a kid? Why am I stuck dealing with the biggest assholes of society here in customer service? Shit, maybe people liking my selfie will make me feel better.
>God damn Boomers and Xers, they really fucked up everything. If only they would just die already, then we could fix everything...

>>6984366
better than Boomers and Xers throwing hissy fits over their expired coupon not being accepted

>>6984396
Agreed, but friendly is not the word I would have chosen first.

>>6984197
my grandparents were in college when they had my dad. my parents had me when they were mid 20s

I was born in 1990 but I can't stand pretty much anyone my age. My generation seems extremely superficial and self-absorbed. I hate words like selfie and hashtag. I don't even like looking at myself in the mirror. I don't have any social media accounts.

What generation am I then?

>>6984387
>black person
>not negro

do you even boomer

>>6984387
Out of all those, I respect the Xers the most, and I'm a fucking millenial.

No you fucking spastic, but a 1945 Boomer can give birth to a 1964 Xer, and a 1960 Boomer can give birth to a 1980 Xer.

>Millennials will throw bitch fits in the store if they cant get the item rivht now

you do realize that most baby boomers are sue-happy assholes who will try and get damages over a cup of coffee that was too hot

>>6984526
They were too busy dying in Nam.

>>6984532
>they go online
They do.. After talking about how bad the service is and post on yelp. Find the item online and get mad theres shipping fees. Come back and complain. Thats how millennials work.

As for the coffee lady. You do realize she wasnt a boomer but from the greatest generation era. She was a 78 year old woman at the time that was a passenger in the drive through that got burnt so bad in the parking lot she hadto get skin graffs. Coffee isnt supposed to be that hot and yeah, id want a company to pay for my hopital bills because they were that neglectful.

Millenals are the same people who think pb&j is racist and sue just as much as boomers.

>>6984544
>Millenals are the same people who think pb&j is racist
Fucking what?

>>6984544
>yelp
I can tell you right now, as a millennial, that nobody from my era actually uses or even cares about yelp
Baby boomers are more likely to do everything you just said Millennials would

>coffee isn't supposed to be that hot
unless somebody purposefully threw boiling water on her, she shouldn't have sued
what kind of person pays for coffee that isn't extremely hot or extremely cold?

The only public dissent millennials ever really care about are protests and camping outside of wall street

>>6984586
>unless somebody purposefully threw boiling water on her

They basically did, I always thought that bitch was a loon until I actually read about the case.

>>6984576
Black man invented peanuts, and we waste them on honky jelly.

every generation sucks. every generation complains about the other generation(s). i would say that old people are annoying to deal with because they're old and don't give a fuck which I imagine is a timeless quality.

>>6984586
Not that guy but the McDonald's coffee maker that lady got coffee from was busted and there were numerous complaints about that particular location of the coffee being too hot. Nowhere is it safe to serve or consume coffee that can melt skin.

>>6984576
There was an article about it
>>6984586

>being a filthy drug criminal

84' here. I have no idea where I am on the scale. Somewhere where apathy and cynicism lives.
I buy everything generic, and ignore every advertisement and shitty 'sale' that tries to trick you into buying 2 of something for a slightly lesser price.
The country was fucked before I got here, and it'll be fucked when I leave. Anyone who tries to fix it gets fired or shot in the fucking head, so why bother? Though i'm sure my generation will still get blamed for it somehow.
I despise the american 'dream', I think college is a joke, and I think student loans are a test to see who's actually retarded enough to take out thousands of dollars they'll have to work a quarter of their lives to pay back.

They are fairly similar but it definitely goes to Boomers. Generally speaking older people are way less forgiving, younger customers will either be the same way or not really give a fuck.

As far as fine dining goes, I think there is a more clear divide by race. Whites are certainly the worst, Blacks follow, and everyone else like Asians and Mexicans are typically the best as they almost never send orders back or complain if we "forgot" to take out onions. The latter hardly ever asks for modifications to begin with.

Whenever someone posts an opinion like that you know they aren't white. If you confront them they'll pretend to be white as if they are fooling anyone. There is the rare chance this person is a self-hating white but it is doubtful. Besides don't those people stick to social networks like reddit or tumblr?

Millennials at worst are rude while certain babyboomers can be straight up psychopathic if they don't get exactly what they want.

>>6983474
The baby boomers are by a mile the most entitled, inconsiderate generation in history. They created the most debt, then when it bit the future generations in the ass, the baby boomers refused to vacate positions despite being past retirement age while simultaneously criticizing said generations' lack of motivation and entitlement.

Except people born after 1990 are a completely different generation. They're the reddit/tumblr generation. Basically if you were less than 12 years old 9/11 happened, you're a Millennial, and if you were born in the 80s, you're Generation Y.

>>6984660
Generation Z is actually called Gen R now. R for relaxed. My sides.

>>6986531
Millennial, Generation Y, Baby Echo, and Echoboomers all refer to the same generation. You are thinking of Generation Z which started in the mid-90's or early to mid 2000's.

>>6984660
Today, I learned that I'm a millennial.

I don't know how to deal with this feel

>>6986531

deal with it

>>6986552
No, Millennials are different things. They're annoying, self-described "le 90s kids" even though they don't actually remember anything from the 90s because they were too young. This is why it's important to make a clear distinction between Generation Y(or whatever you want to call it), who were born in the 80s and actually grew up in the 90s(had their childhood during the 90s) and Millennials, so called because they were born in the 90s and had their childhood in the 00s. Millennials are pure cancer.

>>6984201
>We care more about fixing what's wrong with this country than we care about fixing the world.

You meant to say Gen Y. They're the ones who can't find work and who the baby boomers refuse to vacate for.

>>6986539
>>6986709
Personally I like referring to Y as 'generation why', seeing all the twentysomething-aged people I graduated from high school with scavenging for entry level jobs (the same ones I got stuck in four years ago) is depressing as hell.

This thread is so 90's.

The important gaps have way more to do with technology (and war if you're getting back to the greatest generation through the boomers) than anything else. Generational gaps break down a bit when you attempt to compare someone who has memories of pre-internet boom and post. The absorption of this into their cultures is largely defining to their attitudes. Right now older Gen Y/millennials/whatever the fuck you want to call them are struggling with their politics being mostly university-driven with extremely dumb hypersensitive shit jumpstarted by the previous generation who is now aghast by the extremist quality they created but could not fully anticipate the meaning of. There's a split in this generation of people between those who are unable to tear away from the instant social gratification of the internet and those who can.

So on one hand you have a group of people who are irrational and going to satirical levels of political correctness and on the other hand you have people old enough to happily continue selling out the future of those ahead of them for shit that is immediately self-serving. Look at issues like net neutrality.

As far as customers go, they are just as bad in different ways. Most customers are going to be fine, but some are going to be special snowflake shitheads. One just may use a bit more technology and the other may scream for the manager and demand comps.

>They're annoying, self-described "le 90s kids" even though they don't actually remember anything from the 90s because they were too young
I was born in 92, would I be considered a nineties kid? I feel like I have more childhood memories from the nineties (nsync, moon shoes, furbies, ty beanie babies, shenmue, those extreme shopping shows) compared to the 2000s, which was more or less spent browsing Neopets and listening to visual kei music.

>>6986709
The worst part here is they are being treated like worthless shitheads by the media because many of them have to move back home and are laden with debt ontop of limited job opportunities. You can't work, afford a place to live, and afford college all at the same time anymore. Stagnant wages with poor experience means that even when they do find a job they are often working more for less equivalent than their parents did. Ontop of this, companies are becoming increasingly unwilling to train employees and college is just a prereq, not actually useful.

>>6986767
Are you a shithead socialite?

>>6986658
>Oh, because you make such a strong, well-argued, evidence backed point right?

This is what's wrong with millennials. They think everything is a fucking debate.
Someone talking about their life experiences (especially someone older than you) are not up for debate or arguing with. It is what it is.
Someone who is part of GenX, or Boomers, or GenY will certainly know much more about what said group is about, rather than someone younger who never experienced those particular problems or lifestyles. You are being stupid. Stop it.

>>6986775
No, just a shut-in that browses 4chan for 5 hours a day when I'm not working at one of my jobs.

>>6986774
>college is just a prereq, not actually useful.

Man, do I feel like I dodged a fucking bullet by not going to college and just joining the workforce right out of highschool.

>Friends all laugh at me telling me that they'll be sure to send me christmas cards from their gold plated yachts their buisiness degree bought them
>All of them are being crippled by student debt and are working the same entry level retail jobs as me, but I have seniority over them now

Its a fucking mad world tbh

>>6986874
Then you're fine.

>>6986596
I don't think that is a generational thing but that is just what people do. He won't accept it because he has no humility. That's what I find to be lacking in all current generations. Humility was once a virtue before the 20th century but increasingly cockiness masquerading as confidence is the virtue of the day. It disgusts me. People like to see themselves as men of action but they are just blowhards.

From my experiences working at the cafe in a retail store, baby boomers are the biggest cunts. When i served people who were about my age or younger they seemed very polite and understandable if I ran out of for example personal pan cheese pizzas. Except I get the reaction form boomers where they huff and puff and look at me like I just said a racist joke.

>>6983415
Don't think there's any reasonable way to distinguish other than age.

>>6987771
Sorry to break it to you but that's the way it has always been, the crusades were literally started because the knights weregetting rowdy and couldn't stop fighting and raping

>>6988209
I find it kind of funny when a place claims to have run out of something buy you know they make them throughout the day. "Sorry we ran out of garlic knots." They were just balls of baked pizza dough they topped with garlic and oil. Yet somehow they could make as many pizzas as I could order.

>>6988243
Sorry to break it to you but "knights getting rowdy" is not why the crusades occurred. Societies in that era grew in influence and prosperity through conquest. It really was that simple. Not quite as simple as your ebonics revisionist historical interpretation "frat boy knights be all like cray cray and git dem nigers." You are a buffoon of the highest order, sir.

>>6988757
My cafe has a limited supply for the day and it would be near closing and the dough we have is only available in pizza dough discs and breadsticks well sticks. I just wish people like that would be understanding.

Worst customers are any of the following:
-interrupts you while you're trying to explain something that would answer your question. They interrupt only to ask the question you're about to answer.

-have their own fucked up expectations of what they're going to get and won't take no for an answer.

-Elitist. They look down on you because you're not a PHD millionaire and if you were that only happened because Daddy paid for it and you're still shit.

>>6989137
>interrupts you while you're trying to explain something that would answer your question. They interrupt only to ask the question you're about to answer.
That happens when you think they'll never just spit out the answer you are looking for since they are going the most roundabout way to get there maybe some day if the weather is nice.

i've never seen a gen x'er complain, mostly boomer women and young millennial whores. millennial men are generally too beta to complain.

>>6989212
There is not much point in complaining. You just stop going.

>>6983526
best post on /ck/ atm tbh fam

>>6983415
Far and away Boomers. There were definitely some shitty younger people when I worked at a restaurant, but the retirees and late middle-aged workers were the fucking bottom of the barrel worst scum on earth. Vehemently complain about everything, including corporate decisions that were fully out of my control, act like I was some slave barely worth their time to even look in the eye, act like their day was ruined if everything didn't work out perfectly, like their existence hinged on the availability of a specific shitty soup, and overall just be a fucking rude nuisance to everyone who worked there. fucking awful.

>>6984152
fuck off Carlos.

>>6983852
I don't have a suitable reaction image to convey how dumb you are, so here's a pic of a gun with pretty colors on it.

>>6986774
>lwt me go to a state school for an art or womens studies degree
>why cant i find work?
>fucking boomers.
Theres jobs just your an entitled shit that thinks entry level is below you. When your not working any job is a step up.
Thank god i got into trade work with a b.a at a cc

>>6989137
>looks down on your for not having a phd.
Oh my god this.
This one isnt generational. If you do this, you are a piece of shit

>>6983415
At least boomers maintain the pretense of civilization.

>>6989470
>he thinks baby boomers worked hard to get that $40 an hour job.
>get a real job losers
>real jobs want experience, not college
I have a good job, but I had to work my ASS off for it. I know plenty of boomers who literally got a degree and got hired for the modern-day equivalent of $40 an hour.

>>6988243

The crusades happened because Europeans were literally being raped, murdered and enslaved by Muslim nations, and were entirely justified you fucking idiot

>>6989804
They were slavs and spaniards. They don't count as people.

People like to complain. Usually it isn't accusatory and mostly well mannered, but they need someone to vent their dissatisfaction with. I don't know why these millennials are getting so bent out of shape. I give them a sympathetic ear. It isn't too hard.

>>6983730
Disregarding the fact that the rest of your post is idiocy, I'd be willing to bet that the quality of service in fast food places (ok, why are you expecting service there anyway?) is due to the assembly line structure of the business and the cold shoulder that the corporate identity gives its peons. Also the fact that 1 in 5 patrons is likes a massive entitled cunt.

Any caring person can be driven down so low that they stop caring completely.

>>6989472
I used to get this all the time. Then these people will say shit like "I'll make SURE you get fired!" Usually nothing happens because everyone knows these types are insane.

>>6990101
Had that happen once because I didn't know where the air conditioning filters were. The guy was black.

>>6989634
Holy shit you're retarded. A degree doesnt entitle a 40/hr job.
They probably got one in the field they are working and anecdotal evidence doesnt count

>>6989958
Sounds like you haven't worked a service job.

People will go on for 20 minutes straight if you give them a chance. I know because I have timed it reach time it happens.

Controlling the conversation is more productive.

>>6990173
Blacks get fucking cranky. Then they assume that you can't or won't do something because they're black. Shit drives me nuts.

>work at cashier in a toy store
>literally every customer is a 40+ year old mom
>have a thing where you got a coupon for 20% off your next purchase after buying something, so some fucking bitch comes in saying HOW COME I DONT HAVE A COUPON I COME HERE ALL THE TIME IM A LOYAL CUSTOMER
"Ma'am you have to purchase something, then we can give you the coupon."
>she buys a few things
>give her coupon
>"ID LIKE TO RETURN ALL THIS STUFF I JUST BOUGHT SO I CAN REBUY IT ALL with the coupon!"
>"It's meant for your next purchase, that's the intention of the coupon,but if you insist then I can, however it only works on one item so no need to return all of it"
>"OKAY ILL RETURN THIS ONE ITEM, REBUY IT WITH THE COUPON, AND THEN YOULL GIVE ME ANOTHER COUPON AND WE'LL BUY EACH OF MY ITEMS AGAIN
>"You dont get another coupon if you use one in the transaction, sorry"
>WOW THIS IS HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE I COME HERE ALL THE TIME IM GOING TO WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR HEAD OFFICE, WHATS YOUR NAME?"
"It's on my nametag, do you want to talk to my manager?"
>talks to my manager who basically repeats what i said then the lady rants about how we should sell X and Y because of how competitive retail is nowadays and garbage like that
>boss just lets her have her way to get her the fuck out
>she did all this to save literally $6
>lady walks out
>boss looks over to me and just says "what a fucking cunt"

The dads are always cool though it's only the witchy housewives who turn a normal, pleasant interaction to shit, I wonder why that is.

>>6990590
The fucking garbage part is that if we didn't have a coupon at all she wouldn't have anything to bitch about. The only thing worse than being entitled as fuck is people who even when they get a break they aren't entitled to they act like they're doing you a favor.

>>6990101
Before i got the job i do now i would get that all the time. I even had some bitch take my picture because they thpught i was trying to rip them off because we couldnt fix one of her tires and rotate them because of her out of alignment car the tires were to bald
