    Boomers are actively finding a way to be offended by that as we speak. "Back in my day, we stood on iron floor pads in slip persistent shoes for 12 hours a day and offered service with a smile!"

    Iโ€™m a (spanish) boomer. I reported one of my bosses to my company health & safety comission because the bastard physically removed our chairs (I was a bank teller at that time). He was reprimanded, the chairs were put back in their places and the guy hated me deeply for the months we had to work together.

    I was (still am) member of an union, btw. And that made a difference.

    Sorry, I just got done reading a bunch of stupid Google reviews with old people shitting on our local Chinese food restaurant for offenses like not being welcoming, not smiling, and serving the wrong kinds of food. It's annoying that there's a generation of people who expect servants when they exchange money for a service.

    I'm pretty close to being a boomer, my in-laws are. Nobody I know has a problem with that. Careful with your ageism.

    My in-laws are more progressive than most and are deep boomers, I realize it's not all of them. There's enough of them that they do seem to standout as a general rule that want to perpetuate generational suffering. Granted, most of the worst offenders are gen x and millennial with the "grind set" mindset.

    And why they're the only one I'll never know. All idling jobs should have a fucking seat, there's no good reason for cashiers to be forced to stand

    Back in the day when I worked at an American grocery chain they had a rule that you were not allowed to drink water where customers could see. Literally the only person who ever cared was the franchise owner. I'm sorry, I've been scanning and bagging hundreds of products for the last 3 hours during a holiday rush, I might need to wet my mouth between customers from time to time.
