YES - had to serve a slice of this to someone yesterday. Feelsgoodman.jpg

I worked at a bagel place YEARS ago & when I didn’t toast this old mans bagel properly (3 times, 3 different bagels) he threw it at me 1/?
Silhouetto
Through the drive-thru window. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. I did both.

Retail here. I've never had someone under roughly 50 y/o come in before opening and demand to be checked out. Open time is clearly posted
bigbirdchokingonausedcondom
Before anyone says keep the doors locked, a smaller business is within our business that opens before we do
bigbirdchokingonausedcondom
Meaning we have to let people in. They don't understand and get irate because I wont check them out before opening

Making broad statements on whole generations based on only your experience is a pretty terrible point
Hyero
Perhaps an anecdote gone viral supported by thousands of others with similar anecdotes holds some truth.
DangerousNoodle
As a young person currently working in customer service, it's about 50/50 in my opinion. I've had entitled kids and boomers yell at me.
DangerousNoodle
And it's always been over things I have no control over.
THEBOUNCEHOUSE
Mortgage Broker here: entitled ones are 40+ and salty because they didnt save when money was easy. Regret is a real bitch. F in the chat.

Well i work in retail and the majority of assholes are teens, people over 40. And people over 60 is like 50% chance they are assholes
TeamRocketBlastOffAtTheSpeedOfLightSurrenderNowOrPrepareToFight
Yea but teens are mostly assholes because they tear apart your store and/or steal shit.
failedtodelete
I know this is horrible to say, but I've rarely been surprised by the culprits for all the shitty behaviour and thievery.
PocketVist
Yea i mean everytime you catch a thief and you look at them, they always look like you imagine they would
failedtodelete
But a lot of the stories are quite sad. There's a single mum who seems to keep nicking baby milk, for example, and it might just be because
failedtodelete
she can't afford it at certain times of the month. There are a couple of people who are apparently homeless who are nicking meat and

Older people are generally ruder in my experience, but the absolute dumb as a box of rocks stuff seemed to come from my generation.
keyblader1985
Dumb knows no age.
MerkNowitzki41
There's plenty of idiot old people. They're my demographic. "does my phone have a battery?" NUMEROUS TIMES
Markamanic
The older generation is real good at projection. Thats why our generation is lazy, entitled, and ruining the world.
DanSantacroce
More often the problem starts in a meeting with decision makers that have no clue how their decisions will affect their customers
HexDarkwood
Been working customer service jobs for over a decade. Age doesn't define asshole status.
Malzie
I've worked as a supervisor in customer service for 5 months and I have been screamed at by all ages. Oh the stories I could tell.
DeathandtheMaiden
7 years for me. Good luck.

I'll have to put a post together. I have been considering it for a while, but I have to be careful how I word certain things for anonymity.

bc3789
What I've discovered is that older generations are hypocrites more so than any other group. They act like complete douchenozzles then 1/2
bc3789
2/2 you're the asshole for retaliating or calling them on it.
MisssschiefManaged
Worked fast food for a year. Switched to being a security guard on grave shift and only at construction sites. That way I deal with 0 people
MisssschiefManaged
I no longer come home contemplating if murder is acceptable because of stupid people.
Crustypeanut
I work retail, and while I won't say there aren't young assholes, 90% of the assholes are older folks. But then there 1/?
Crustypeanut
a bunch of super nice and sweet old people too. I just think that the younger assholes aren't shopping in a grocery store as much 2/?
Crustypeanut
as the older assholes, so it *feels* like there are more older assholes. I just don't got to deal with the younger ones as much! 3/3
Bartacomus
I imagine they were trying to get some service..
failedtodelete
To be fair, though, that's largely happening by design. The company doesn't give a shit that 3 people have to do 5 people's work.
weleasebwyan
I’ve worked customer service. Basically people overall are assholes.
pimientofrito
Agree. Everyone is disgusting
BHPaperstacks
I find millenials to be way more awesome

Bastard coated bastards with bastards filling?

Everyone should do a mandatory 1 year in customer service/retail and one year in food service before getting a real job.
FarQuad
Its a few animals, doesn't call for burning the whole barn... especially if its a kobe beef farm.
J4nein4ne
We're all deuterostomes. Some people just never grow past that initial stage of development.
Rudimental114
Can confirm. People should be taught to behave when dealing with customer support.. So many people act like assholes
UmHowAboutAnonymous
Or everyone has to do a mandatory customer service jobs for a year. Retail or server, but for a whole year. I think the world needs that
UmHowAboutAnonymous
I've worked retail, as a server, and bartender. You really gotta mess up huge for me to be upset with your service.
UmHowAboutAnonymous
And even when it goes all to shit. I understand, hell I've been there lol
ariafiresong
Two days ago a guy yelled at us because he wanted to pretend we had a sign for a product we've never sold.
failedtodelete
No they are not. I work customer service, I fucking hate my job, I would do literally anything else if only I could, but people are not
failedtodelete
assholes. Most people are entirely indifferent to you, which is fucking horrible, and some chat with you, but there's a small subsection of
failedtodelete
people who are fucking rude. It's still astonishing to me how close some people are to a full blown fucking freak out.
BeachSnowflake
From my experience as a waiter mums with young kids are both the most entitled and rude. (1/2)
BeachSnowflake
(2/2) Your child isn't going to be the next einstein if they're trying to eat off the floor whilst you're arguing with the manager Karen.
mrlimppickle76
Or idiots
Mycologics
It's not necessarily true. Because I did the same and I think it's just people who use customer service for free shit. The rest is...ok
JustDontCare
Yeah. Although younger kids usually are inconsiderate. Ah wait... this old guy talking loudly on speaker phone on this train at 06:41. Nvm
failedtodelete
In general, yes, but in ways that they don't usually mean. There's always the douchebag who decides that the rest of the bus needs to hear
failedtodelete
his shitty music, and the guy that's on the phone even at the checkout, but in general these people are asshole minorities
failedtodelete
most of the inconsiderate shit that younger people seem to do is shit that they're not thinking about
lemonyflavoredjunimo
I tend to pull up videos of goats screaming and play it loudly to make a point.

As someone who worked as a cleaner in a hotel, our generation was pretty darn bad when it came to how they left things. . . .
jeepmare
only job I've had has been at a minimart. I've worked here for 4 years. People yell at me for telling them to have a good day sometimes.
adhdave
I feel you buddy I got yelled at last week for asking a guy how he was doing
chromofoam
Don’t know how you guys do it. I’d lose my shit and tell them how it is...or at least I’d want to...I guess
adhdave
Two words malicious compliance or I'm gonna make this painful with a massive shit eating grin but call you sir
Mobileuserwholikestoberandom
No, our generation just tries to get free stuff because they’re a so-called “Influencer”.
BoxesThatSneak
I had this guy come to guest service at work and wanted to price match Amazon 2 dollar Miller light sale, we said we would not change (1)
BoxesThatSneak
The price, he started saying other stores had done it on Twitter, and we were like we can't actually do that company policy. He was got (2)
Monteez
Target! What’s up fellow team member?
BoxesThatSneak
Pretty mad for something I had no control over he was pretty young security and management walked him out after he pushed one of my coworker
PhantomOfTheDopera
Worked as a waiter. Can confirm. Except this one douche who's daddy is rich, but I told him to go suck his gf dick and he dropped attitude
zbadmanz1911
The purge but we all just kill 55 Y/O and older!
AkumaArtist92
Lol 3 years? Keep working longer and you'll see it all.

CarrieUnderboob
I might be approaching that age. It may just be that when people turn 35, they're done with accepting screwed up orders or bad service?
CarrieUnderboob
Either way, everyone can try a little harder to be nice to one another and make this world a better place in the process.
Deanscream
I verify employment history for a living. People flip out on us for the dumbest shit, and I hope karma is a thing.
Swe3tJe3bus
My experience with that is usually someone with a thick accent that is hard to understand. I thought it was a scam the first time.
HEXADECIMAL
To be fair, employment history is a difficult process and some companies now require you to disclose EVERY JOB YOU'VE EVER HAD IN YOUR LIFE.
pflugerville
Karma is the outcome of a continuous occurence of rudeness, irrationality, and stupidity. They all breed bad outcomes eventually.
Longbowgun
I can add a "lack of preparation" to that list. Fort

"fortune favors the bold" but, "knowledge is power" wins everytime.
Xedi22
How do you handle all the out of business companies I’ve worked for?
Deanscream
We have a form to fill out that basically states that we were able to confirm that the business is closed, and records no longer exist.
Xedi22
Cool, just curious. I imagine going back to verify more than a few years old is an epic pain in the butt.
Deanscream
Anything past 10 years is usually a hassle. But we've had people verify 40 years of work history before, which is always a nice surprise.
Mack1986
Well it's not. Another problem with our generation
Bartacomus
they think they are owed satisfaction?
Mack1986
Referring to the concept of karma.
Bartacomus
*that moment when people realize they arent supposed to desire bad karma, cause it creates bad karma. and then that discovery of humility.

theshinobi23
Apparently this is super controversial, with currently 34-33 for upvotes-downvotes. I'm just wondering why it would matter.
Bartacomus
It had mostly upvotes until i started calling bullshit on the comments up there. Funny how that happens.
Mindshard
Sometimes you need something to distract yourself from the fact that the economy is broken and most will work until they die.
Bartacomus
Broken like 17 year old with a $175 a month phone bill with the old iphone7 (64gigs ugh) and some ugly knock-off protector case?
Bartacomus
or broken like carrying water home in a bucket, public urination, belly full of intestinal parasites, chicken shit everywhere, and goiters?
maxirad
I justify wasting company time because of the economy, if I get fired it doesn’t matter. I’ll get another McJob somewhere else.
maxirad
My ex employer can waste more company time and money training a new hire, which has a negative effect on the economy
Bartacomus
finally another god damn cynic. apparantly so dry youve slid under the radar.. *golf clap*

Lol people are relating like “yeah it’s true, I’ll just get another job”
