I am self-quarantining now, but when I was still going to my stupid retail job, the boomers have been the dumbest about basically everything involving Covid-19.

From complaining the loudest when stores dare to be out of necessary supplies to refusing to stand six feet apart in the checkout line, they are doing their best to make this whole lovely experience even shitter.

My store put little containers of cotton swabs by the register for people to use instead of touching the pinpads. Most people could figure it out, but it definitely blew some old peoples' minds.

Old person: :saddowns: *hesitates to touch pinpad*

Me: :) You can use the q-tips instead!

:saddowns: How does it work?

:) Well, you just take a q-tip and use it to press the buttons.

:saddowns:*takes a q-tip* How do I do that?
:) You....pretend it's your finger, and enter your phone number with it? :ughh:

:saddowns: *hesitates, does not understand*

Like how loving hard is that to figure out. It happened with at least ten old people.

better then how it is here. the stores wont let employees wear masks or gloves because it scares the customers and only one store put up sneeze guards. i have a face mask but it isnt m94 and gloves and i got called a snowflake by a boomer. I told her when she gets the roni to remember this then i took off my mask and faked sneeze. so if i stop posting soon im in guantonamo bay as a terrorist .

v pretty sure fake sneezing isnt a crime. i was making a joke about the idiots doing pranks about having the roni.

Boomers love Hard Rock Cafe's

It's still a lovely chain restaurant, but they can feel cool about it because they're eating next to a guitar Gary Moore played once in 1984.

This scans. Every vacation with my parents included at least one trip to the hard rock in town, or planet hollywood when those were around. You couldn't pay me to go to one on my own cognition.

Did you know Hard Rock Cafe pin collecting culture is a thing? My friend's navy buddy came to town so we showed him Phoenix. One thing he super wanted to do was go to Hard Rock Cafe and buy a shitload of pins. He was a pretty cool dude and bought us drinks so I didn't mind. Still, a military man, so he's a boomer at heart.

Yes because they have the market cornered/flooded on guitar pins. Makes it hard to find anything on eBay that looks cool and isn't Hard Rock branded, so that's my excuse for giving in and having a few peppered in between the band pins on my board. Hopefully pin collecting itself isn't a boomer activity, but most of the major categories of it are: you've got Hard Rock, Disney, The Olympics, Baseball, and Pinny Arcade as the outlier.

I'm seeing a rise in nerd pin collecting, so it's not a boomer thing. But Hard Rock Cafe pin collecting is so specifically boomer.

Not sure how boomer Jimmy Saville is, but that pedophilia was basically normalised in the 70s is about the only thing that even begins to explain it.

I was going to make a case for Disney pins being more boomery, but then I remembered insane Disney fans encompass all ages.

Are you trying to shame me into supporting the struggling independent artist or something? The search results on Etsy are just as bad as eBay. Probably worse as actual designers are getting buried in Chinese knockoffs and the same listings for cruddy 80s band pins that are everywhere. At least I made it to page two before the first Hard Rock one popped up.

Cracker Barrel is a special memory for me because there's maybe 4 in the entire state of CA so no one I ever talked to has been to one and I can gleefully describe a lovely country western version of Denny's is only it's constantly packed with exclusively elderly white folks who rave about the food.

Unlike Bob Evans, where they don't give a gently caress they are actively trying to kill you with food so it all does taste loving amazing.

Hats prevent sunburn. The combover or hair follicle transplants are what you're looking for.

Cracker Barrels are a godsend if you’re traveling long distances. The food is good, kids can wander around the gift shop, and the faucet water in the bathroom is hotter than molten lava and excellent for cleaning out crusty baby bottles.

I can’t imagine going to one regularly though. Half the people eating there are one more biscuit away from losing a toe to diabetes.

My wife.and I had a gift card to cracker barrel for like 3 years and we finally went to one. We were pleasantly surprised, particularly compared to the Olive garden we had gone to the week prior (also had a gift card).

Would probably go to cracker barrel again, but not olive garden
