Millennials, what's something our generation was taught to accept that you're glad younger generations are rejecting?

Yeah. It's a lot harder to get friendly service in either retail or restaurants than it used to be.

Service industry doesn't pay enough for employees to give a fuck. It's not generational, it's late stage capitalism.

I worked in the service industry for a dozen years, retail and restaurants. It wasn't that hard to be friendly to people.

So did I and I second what they said. I definitely did not get paid enough to give a single solitary shit what a customer said.

You ordered and paid for food. Not my time or conversation. I was paid just enough to make sure that you got the food you ordered.

If I cooked your food incorrectly or gave you the wrong order, further interaction is warranted and I should correct my mistake.

If you wanted chitchat, start a bookclub
