Is this something new for chick fil a? I don't remember the employees doing that 20 years ago. The few times I've been to once the last 10 years, I asked for an extra sauce packet. The middle aged man behind the counter looked at me as if I just told him he ruined my life and handed me like 10 of them and coupon. The very last time I was in one, I heard the Boomer manager loudly complaining to his teenage staff about the Cavenaugh hearings.

Chik fil a workers are usually either teenagers working in the kitchen or the cash register or standing outside the drive thru with an iPad OR a decrepit white person ineffectively sweeping with a dust pan and broom. It's looks like a pity job for all the good they're doing.

Heath posted:Uh I think they would love to and are trying to eliminate those jobs All the McDonald's near me added those ordering kiosks and have had to hire additional staff. Plus when you factor in poo poo like UberEats, they are busy all the time. There was an article on, I think, CBC recently about self checkouts and how some grocery stores are opening up more bakery and deli positions instead of cashier jobs. I could see convenience stores being automated in some way. Maybe automats will come back in fashion.

When I worked at a Deli there were a lot of older people who didn’t like to take numbers and assumed that being a regular customer means you can just go next. It put you in a no win solution because either way a manager was getting called.

Cowcaster posted:i think the "no problem" infuriating boomers when you use it instead of "you're welcome" is a branch on the same diseased tree that makes them so obsessed with cursive. in elementary school it was drilled into their heads that the correct response to "thank you" is "you're welcome" and cursive is the proper way to write, and these gosh darned millenials don't respect either after i made this post it stayed rattling around in my brain a bit and i figured out why

My favorite is when fast food workers are handling credit cards and cash and then go straight to handling food without changing gloves because getting new gloves is a headache. Just let people use their God drat hands.

Social media has disproven once and for all that respecting one's elders is something you need to do. (Except nice old grandmas and grandpas who I do think you should respect as in treat nicely but not as in believe they have some kind of unique wisdom)

Grevling posted:Social media has disproven once and for all that respecting one's elders is something you need to do. i think generally elders are great at giving advice based on experience. the problem is that boomers just make poo poo up whole cloth or parrot the teevee, on top of being completely averse to self reflection or humility so you basically can only give a gently caress what they say under very specific circumstances. if they don't have the usual boomer attributes for whatever reason they can usually give good advice

Kung Food posted:Boomer dads like to show their sons how to fix things, and then scream at them when they aren't immediately proficient at it.  You're expected to do it not only the way they do it, but better and faster, the first time you try. They will condition you to do everything quickly because they don't want to wait more than 10 seconds for anything, and then when you do rush through everything all the time they will complain about how you rush through everything and need to take your time. I think it's because they view you as an extension of themselves, and get angry when you aren't doing exactly as they would do at all times.

Respecting elders probably made sense before modern technology and medicine. So many people died earlier that anyone who made it past 60 or 70 with their body and mind intact was probably experienced/educated/accomplished enough to warrant some respect. But with the medical advancements and generally stable society we enjoy today, any diabetic, scooter-bound moron can easily live to a ripe old age, totally bereft of any accomplishments or wisdom.

Step one to making automation good is to destroy capitalism. Once the people own the means of production in some way, the benefit of free robot labor goes out more horizontally instead of ending up in one dude's pocket while 200 out of work people fight over scraps.

I’ve seen older people take long enough at those where a cashier is so much faster, plus the time after when they didn’t get their order right even though they made it themselves.

I used to work for a software company that sold to oil/energy companies, drug and chemical manufactures. The plants were always in the middle of nowhere in some flyover state where they don't pay taxes and have a large nearly unskilled population that will thank them profusely for low paying , dangerous jobs. If you've never seen the movie Norma Rae with Sally Field, go watch it. You'll get sad or angry that a 40 year old film about evil corporations exploiting small town workers is still valid and would probably be laughed out of the theater by many of today's Americans. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079638/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1

Regarding the KFC incident, I think the problem is that some fast food places have 'table service' (granted you still have to go to the register to order). I know this is standard in Carls Jr but sometimes a specific store will do it too-for example McDonald's normally doesn't but there's a location with one of those big indoor play places. A lot of families consist of one tired parent and like 4 toddlers, so it's much easier for them to order then sit down and let their kids play nearby without needing to get up by themselves to get all the food.

"no problem" is a sort of meta empathy. If a non boomer was shopping theyd know that just being a customer creates more work. As an non boomer employee you sometimes dont want the customer to think that they are a burden. Its not a problem that your here, your cool man, were all toiling under capitalism together   boomers dont have empathy so this doesnt occur to them.

It's not impolite, it's letting the customer know that they weren't a problem and we are mutually cool. It's an honest favorable expression while "my pleasure" is maximum rear end kissing. I don't think I've ever said "my pleasure" without extreme sarcasm loaded behind it. If you're particularly cool I'll say "no problem, I'm glad to help", because sometimes I genuinely am.
