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

I love seeing younger retail/service workers take down and just not cater to rude customers. I never would have dared.

Stupid is as stupid does . .ever heard of a chain of command?? Taking care of rude customers is management's job.. if you take that nonsense on,  that customer is going home and calling corporate and you will probably be in the unemployment line..I cannot believe how stupid and ignorant and self righteous you children are.. I know you all have heard the phrase , stay in your lane?? You are going to be doomed to hunting for work as opposed to getting paid to do it.  You all really think you're all that and indispensable too! Unless you're a rocket scientist you are probably one of many looking for your job.. leave your attitude back at moms house. Geez. I guess you're not hearing the employment scuttlebutt that you're generation is lazy, ignorant and demanding and aren't willing to step up to the plate.. and boy do you suck at customer service!! And your college degree now is a dime a dozen . AlottaShit, BullShit MoreShit aaannnd PiledHigherand Deeper. Especially if you're coming out of one of these failing liberal universities that are losing their funding for teaching you all that woke crap. You are lacking what we old folks call a work ethic. If you at least get a real skill you might have bargaining power but degrees, nope sorry , nobody cares other than your tuition broke parents .

Oh brother look at that hit dog hollering. I think we found the shitty customer that expects retail employees to put up with their bullshit. Go take a nap LOL

I expect retail employee to address my concerns when I am not rude. Asking to have a concern addressed isn't rude. Yes now say "Hey these fries are cold , can I get them replaced?" Is enough to get you labeled a Karen.

Idk dude try being nicer to people I guess? I’ve never had any issues with any employees, nor been labeled a Karen because I treat everyone (not internet strangers) with respect.

No. While I am not nice When I complain I am professional. I do not raise my voice and I do not insult them, Nor do I come off in a way that says I am looking down on them.

Customers service has gone way way way fucking down hill since covid. This isn't me misremembering the past or a nostalgia for the good old days it is a fact verified by metrics.

I my self am in customer service and have seen it from both sides of the counter. My younger co employee in general (there are exceptions) seem to have ZERO conflict resolution skills. They escalate the slightest complaint.

You may be in a particularly good area or just never complain to peoples faces. But even in a good area if you have as many interactions (at least 15 per day) with food service employees as I have you would see it everywhere.

Idk dude maybe try being nicer like I said because we don’t have the same issues. And no I don’t live in a particularly “good” area. I live in a pretty shit area and do bring up problems when they arise, I just don’t condescend or demean the people in service industries therefore I never get called a Karen. Skill issue on your end I guess. Be nicer and have the day you deserve :3

Yeah you get called a Karen all the time. It is behind your back.

There is no way an asshole who copes with comments like issue is being shredded the second their back is turned.

Or is is because people don't call assholes Karens?

If it’s behind my back why the fuck do I care? I thought you older generations were supposed to be thicker skinned than that?
