I'm a boomer and the older I get the harder it is to keep my mouth shut when I see people doing stupid stuff. I have reached the IDGARA phase of old age and it is glorious!

She should have taken a piece of chocolate and shoved it down in the woman's blizzard with her finger.

Employee - "AS YOU WERE SAYING, BITCH???"
RooGryphon
yep, let them drone on. you just stop caring. soon you stop even listening once you know they are going to start. otherwise you will fully lose your sanity. i actually have just fully ignored someone and rang them out while they bitched. see if i care.
FartsSmellBad
Weird post. They absolutely do half-ass making stuff all the time, but she also could have just asked for more chocolate pieces
handcuffedtothebriefcase
This happened to me! She put like 1/2 a scoop of peanut butter cups. I went back to her and asked if she could add more pb cups. She straight up said no. No explanation. I stirred the almost full blizzard to show her there were no chunks, she was unmoved, gave me a mocking laugh and said no. Rude people can be found at any age.
FartsSmellBad
I got a bakelite knob I assume off of a machine in an oreo blizzard once. Haven't been back.
NotASpeckOfCereal
Yeah, excellent stereotyping of an entire class of people, BILLIONS, because of the era they were born in. It's bigotry.
stabbermcshooty
Plot twist. They knew this customer was a kind soul and grandma came in to help the kid fleece them

Keep up with the generational hate! The billionaires LOVE you!
TheLastCircusBunny
Yup, divide, distract, and divert.
wuapinmon
Boomers and billionaires can both be assholes.
phalanxausage
And so can millennials! And gens X, Z, & alpha!

I thought the blizzard had an auto feeder for the crumbles and chips and then they stick the spoon on the thing and mix the cup? It's not like getting lucky when the mcdonalds worker doesn't give a fuck and overloads your French fries
apairofpetducks
No, afair that's how it's done at McDonald's (could be wrong/outdated) but at DQ they scoop the toppings into the cup with the soft serve and use a large commercial ice cream mixing machine with a non-detachable wand to blend it. Then they hand you a spoon with the blizzard.
iamthemurray
Yeah, your right. I was definitely confusing the two. I haven't been to either restaurant in yearsss
apairofpetducks
I haven't had McD's since the 90s but there's a DQ down the street from my work and we go for blizzards every month or so. We just went last week when some of our coworkers were working there as part of a fundraiser for children's hospitals :)

As a boomer who tries very hard not to be a Karen, I'm going to have to remember this approach. +↑

The lady and the teenager were later spotted splitting a jar full of cash and fist-bumping in the parking lot.
AyatollahBahloni
I have seen a man do this with a teenager. He brought her to tears. He was a repulsive prick. Anyone who treats service workers like this is a piece of shit.
sfrinlan
Abusing people is shitty in general, but abusing people who have no power to fix things is extra shitty.
OmNachoMama
And abusing young people who don't have the confidence to stand up for themselves is even worse. They need the adults in the room to help stop that shit in its tracks
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
I want to stop being conflict-avoidant, because the last time I saw an old dude act shitty to a young woman, my only reaction was a big tip and to apologize for the guy being a jackass.
starkeclipse
That is excellent motivation. What is your first step toward that goal?
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
Drugs. Psychedelics, chiefly, to better understand the source of my social anxiety, and to better reflect on how to handle my emotional dysregulation in the moment as well.
starkeclipse
Hopefully you'll be doing that with someone at your side. Hopefully someone licensed.
Beasag
Honestly at least once a week someone brings my daughter to tears by screaming at her at the bookstore. The last guy threw his cc at her screaming because she couldn't find his 'rewards' account. ... because he was giving her the wrong email address. But he never apologized. Stomped out screaming that he would never be back. Both she and the store manager were like.. "we can only hope"
ProjectDA
step daughter worked at a local icecream shop. rarely had any over 18 working there. told her if any one causes any issue, im a 3min walk away, 30sec car ride. she stayed because her friend wasnt old enough to work at another place yet. i never got a call, but she seems to 'not my problem' when someone tries to be an ass.
arajad
Manager should have snapped his card in two.
zoltarpanaflex
I only yell at my spouse (not all the time, obviously), I do not go out in public and illustrate why I shouldn't be in public ...
SpinastyPinareMard
Employees at Dairy Queen are underpaid for their food fucking slaps.
TheDoctorCrankenstein
The only good thing at DQ is their ice cream. The rest of their food is miserably mid.
Xenarion
They have other things than ice cream!? /j
apairofpetducks
I enjoy many things on their menu, the pretzel sticks with "spicy" queso in particular.
TheDoctorCrankenstein
I suggest you try better pretzels then if your bar is that low.
apairofpetducks
What an odd takeaway.
1. I didn't say that they were the best pretzels, I said they were one of the best DQ food offerings.
2. I've had much, much better soft pretzels but DQ's are the only ones around me that I know of. I've looked and it's just not a thing here I guess. This area's early settlers were more Irish/Scottish; where I lived before had a lot more German influence.
3. Being aware of better pretzels doesn't reduce my enjoyment of DQ's.
WhoToldYouLifeWasFair
As a Boomer who habitually overtips, we ain't all like that.
dirtcreature
Yes, because it never happened?
thomasbornemann626
Hate these Boomer stereotypes.
newsguycraigevans
As an asshole that likes yelling at people we should team up.
ReverseSyzygy
then "boomer selfishness" doesn't apply !
igetit41
Man, I hear this from boomers so much. Maybe you're not like this, but are you friends or friendly with other boomers who are? Do you still spend holidays with them and let them feel loved and accepted in spite of being like this? Silence helps the oppressor.
DaveSamsonite
I dont know any boomers like that. I was born in 1964, the last year of the 18Y period called the baby boom. It was just after WW1 when the average # of births and births per adult woman was high (for the time.) Birth rose to ~4 kids per woman & 3.3M-4.3M were born each of the 18Y.
1946 3.4M
1947 3.8M
1948, 1949 & 1950: 3.6M
1951 3.8M
1952 3.9M
1953 4.0M
1954 & 1955 4.1M
1955 4.1M
1956 4.2M
1957 (Pk) 4.3M
1958 4.2M
1959 1960 1961 4.3M
1962 1963 1964 4.0-4.2M
That is LITERALLY all it was.
InfocalypseRising
I feel like "boomer" at this point just means "any entitled shitty older person" more than it actually refers to "the baby boomers"
Swordguy
From what I'm led to believe, "boomer" just means "anyone over 25 that I don't like."
Hoiloidl
This! 'Boomer' isn't all about a certain age group but also a certain mindset.
mjperk
Correct. My parents had a hard time accepting this. They're boomers, but they aren't. If you catch my meaning.
FlyingGiantElk
Not every Karen is a Karen?
LendLeaseIdentity
I know a Karen. She is a sweet, wonderful person. I saw her cross the street to help an elderly man come over to our side. Then we had a good joke with me saying, 'hey, stop getting those good impulses before I can' and her replying 'not my fault your good has to wade through the sludge of your brain'. I adore her. Damn good friend.
DaveSamsonite
They don't have any idea of the age of this woman. They just love the idea of using it as an ageist slur. All generational stereotypes, every single one, are ridiculous and stupid. No one gets to choose when they're born, and that's all one's "generational identity" means.
People in any random group of 80 million people that just happened to be born in an 15-18 year period don't behave the same way.
There are great people and horrible people in every generation.
riverpubby
Ageist 😂
DaveSamsonite
All age and generational stereotypes are ridiculous, snowflake. They mean nothing. It's the entire point of my comment.
There are snowflakes of all ages.
riverpubby
You calling me a snowflake when you’re playing victim complex sure is something.
DaveSamsonite
Only a snowflake would make this comment all about them.
riverpubby
I mean seriously, you’re calling “boomer” a slur. Really think about the slurs you know that would get you banned and reevaluate a little.
GrandmasterSpank
That doesnt sound like a Boomer but a GenXer. Not having enough chocolate pieces in blizzard is one of my pet pieves. Also, it;s highly annoying whent he chips are way way way too tiny. Blizzard needs BIG chunks of pure, special UNTEMPERED chocolate which melts at low temps.

GrandmasterSpank
Thnx!
apairofpetducks
Not sure why you're being downvoted for this. It happens to me sometimes too, where I reply some variation of "thanks" and a handful of people apparently take that personally lol
GrandmasterSpank
I think it's because GenZ doesnt know what a Boomer is and just calls every annoying person older than them 'Boomer' and then get annoyed when they are being corrected. Ah well, every now and then I get -100 but so far nothing happens. Do the points actually do anything or is it just some prestige crap ?
apairofpetducks
Well we've both been hit by the downvote bot now lol Watch out, we're on their radar!
As far as points, not exactly prestige (though I'm sure some feel that way). The practical aspect is credibility - people will often disregard or argue with/against accounts that have low points (new acct) or negative points (troll).

Came here to post this.
Kudos to you, you beautiful bastard
GrandmasterSpank
inb4 'ok Boomer'
malicart
oK bOoMer, you fucking outed yourself here.
GrandmasterSpank
I think GenZ is just so dumb they dont know what Boomer means and just call everyone 'Boomer'.
malicart
In your original comment you said GenX, now you say GenZ, which one are you pissed at boomer?
PauliePlaysPoorly
All of them.
GrandmasterSpank
Thats what I mean.I said GenX referring to the complaining woman at the Dairy Queen. When I said GenZ I was referring to you for not knowing what a Boomer is and not knowing the difference.
