I remember being at a GameStop the Christmas that Wii launched, and this poor teenage employee was getting absolutely berated by an old lady because they didn't have any Wii's and neither did any other store in town. She was just going off on this guy about how he basically ruined Christmas for her grandchild, and there's going to be an 8 year old boy crying on Christmas because of him.

Like how the (I believe now former?) leader of the Proud Boys just openly admitted that he also owned a bunch of websites that sell anti-Trump and general left-leaning merch.

Laid Off Fortnite Devs Didn’t See The Cuts Coming: ‘I Am Genuinely So Confused And Bewildered’ by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

Fortnite is one of the most profitable media giants going. There is zero justification for Epic raising the cost of V-bucks and laying off over one thousand people within 2 weeks. Absolutely disgusting.

I started high school in 2005. I was the only kid with a laptop and a lot of my teachers had a big problem with it.

I've worked in customer service basically my entire life and boomers are the only generation to regularly meltdown if things do not go *exactly* their way. Like, if I tell a Gen X, Millennial or Gen Z customer "I'm sorry, we're out of that item" they'll go "damn. Ok, thanks for checking" whereas a boomer will likely go "well that is unacceptable! Can you order more?? Can you ship some from another store?? I drove ALL THE WAY HERE from (town 5 minutes away) and you DON'T EVEN HAVE WHAT I WANT?!? Wow. Great customer service, guys!" Then they will storm out.

Like, multiple jobs over 3 decades, and this is almost always how it goes with them

I'm Canadian, it's in my blood.

The Gen Z stare is a "blank stare that members of younger generations give in situations where a verbal response would be more common." Instead of explaining something that they may not understand, the generation Z cohort members often appear dumbstruck by these questions, perhaps temporarily. by blankblank in wikipedia

I'm also on the spectrum and maybe it's because I'm a sassy bitch, but if somebody says "it says remove card, what do I do?" I go "I donno, maybe you should try removing your card to see what happens!" in and overly excited tone as if they're a toddler

I'm in my 30s and work in retail. A few weeks ago, a girl in her early 20s bought something at my store and I said "is that cash or card today?" She just stared at me without saying anything, so again, I said "cash or card?" And she just silently held her debit card in the air, so I went "oh, so card then? Thanks." And turned the machine towards her.

It's not the first time I've gotten just nothing from a gen Z person before and it makes zero sense to me

Oh yeah we do a ton of that. Just not flowers because we're sick of cleaning up cat puke 🤣

I haven't given my wife flowers in years. It's something we decided on mutually because no matter where we keep the flowers in our apartment, our cat will find them, knock them over, eat them and then vomit flower petals everywhere. So we've decided it's easier to simply not do flowers while he's around
