You Are A Elf posted:Boomers think flipping the turn signal on means they immediately and undeniably have the right-of-way to make a lane change RIGHT THIS GODDAMN SECOND in front of you for no reason at all, then get angry when you don’t let them in. Streets with two left turning lanes can be a nightmare because of this, because drivers will be dumb and think that just because one lane is shorter they can use that and just merge right away instead of waiting.

Plus how often do those items sell for a high price after being on that show? Someone has to actually want to pay that much, so it doesn’t matter if it’s 40 dollars or 400 dollars if it’s some antique that would just take up more space.

Rereading It has a good bit where the kids who left town aren’t super rich but are treated as 90k being a lot of money at the time, while the one who stayed and became a librarian only makes 11k and lives fine off it.

I’ve seen that happen with self checkouts a few times, except the cashiers normally can’t just fix broken ones so they have to stand there listening to someone say it should have been fixed already when other people need help.

I have no idea where and how I picked up “no problem” as a response, but I have yet to be directly confronted over it. I do like how there’s this implied thing where if you don’t say you’re getting enjoyment from serving them it ruins the entire thing.

CPL593H posted:Are we sure this is entitlement and not dementia? I’ve seen it happen a few times too, normally it’s because one time a manager or someone came over and helped them when it wasn’t busy, so now it’s expected. So when you have a busy store and a line they can only wait and get mad no one is helping them.

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.

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’ll usually see older people blame the workers for a company thing they can’t do anything about, like why something costs so much, or why they don’t have something anymore, compared to younger people who tend to know what working those kinds of jobs are like now.

I’ve seen people complain before they can’t park if there are two vehicles surround a spot because they can’t fit, but if they’re both inside the lines that’s just an issue with their vehicle.

There was a site called Literally Unbelievable which got good comments about old people confused and angry about Onion articles and stuff like that. The most common one tended to be angry comments about the 8 billion dollar abortionplex being built.

Boomers seem to think giving service workers exact change will confuse them, when even if math isn’t someone s best subject registers are pretty clear about how much someone should get back.

There’s an age limit where older people don’t understand that college is going to be expensive no matter what. The cheapest 4 year school in my state is now 12k a year, and I would hear how I just needed to work and save and be more responsible with my money, like it was something you could just save over a summer.

Leon Einstein posted:How would you even know someone was using an EBT card? Where I live you swipe the card before you pay with anything else, which to me would mean that only the EBT items count and everything else they’re paying for themselves, but also racism is a decent sized chunk of it.

A lot of places near me have turned to either the choice of self check out or 2 cashiers with lines of full carts. If they had more cashiers then I’d probably use them more. Apparently one store wants to move to a system where it’s one big line for cashiers where next available cashier gets the next person, so I wonder how that would go.

For a lot of people if 1 person abuses a system that 99 people benefit from without abusing that’s a completely valid reason to just get rid of it.
