I’ve heard it explained that “hey” used to be more of an urgent way to get someone’s attention, rather than a casual “hello” like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.

    The customer is always right, is a fallacy? Yeah, now I know you’ve never worked in hospitality. Heaven forbid you expect your server to be tolerant, and the customer is under no obligation to reciprocate.

    Also, entitlement isn’t exactly how I would describe that generation but it certainly rings true for the latest offspring. Colloquially known as the immediate gratification generation. 🤣

      They are tolerant, they aren’t punching your face for demanding they pander to you. Customer… no, but as a generation as a whole, yeah you’re reaping what you’ve sowed. They’ve never shown an ounce of appreciation for being tolerated, in fact they condemn a large portion of people for being different as well.

      No, entitlement and narcism are the word to describe your generation.
