Yep, and nowadays etiquette is endangered, and people in high places have gotten blind to reality. It’s as saddening as it is scary.
They have to be one of the first generations of Americans to mutilate themselves in mass.
And have an attitude about it.
I don’t see that things are quite as bad as they were during the Carter years. The reverse problem seems to be true - lots of jobs out there, just no one qualified to fill those jobs - or able to pass a drug test, show up on time, have reliable transportation to work, etc.
We’ve allowed the Socialist Democrat Party and the COMPLICIT RINOs to create this current ‘utopia’ for us.
But then, I think about my Grandpa who had a wife, kid & FIL to support during the Great Depression. He took on any and ALL jobs he was offered - baker, swept streets, cut and delivered wood, farm work, butchering, collected trash, etc.
When things turned around he became a Machinist and it was all roses after that; he helped build parts of the bombs that ended WWII, and also parts of various space craft, back when NASA had a few nickles to rub together. :)
If he could survive and thrive through that, I’ve got NOTHING to whine about; though I still whine from time to time. ;)
“Red Guards!”
I was wondering about this. Will they lead the “Multi-Cultural Revolution?”
Flash forward three decades and I too have almost no savings. The last decade has been a financial disaster for me. I can't find steady work in my field. But I blame no one but myself for not saving more when I could have.
See, that’s the part I can’t figure out. They whine that the Boomers have made them such awful people, but then it turns out they are people who have continued to support their offspring up to the age of 30 and beyond.
If a restaurant is making bad tasting, over-priced food, they shouldn’t be trying to find fault with the customer for not wanting to buy it. The last time I had applebees (won a gc) they were microwaving their food packets even back then.
The article says boomers focused on short term rewards and Millies want to experience it now. I don’t see the difference.
I guess I’m a millennial then. I don’t buy most of those things either.
Except I do like nice linen napkins (not paper). And I already have a home.
I don’t buy much really... I have enough stuff. People who are older than millennials who have reached peak stuff have stopped buying a lot of things
I love me some Buffalo Wild Wings. I spent a couple evenings there with Chris Sabo from the Cincinnati Reds. We had a good time. He had about .01 percent Body fat, lol. My neighbor brought me some hot wings from Dayton, Ohio last weekend, the best I’ve ever eaten.
I was thinking that too. The chain restaurants are pretty sucky except Outback. Family owned greasy spoons rule.
Buffalo Wild Wings and Applebee’s are disgusting. I never eat there either. Most such food chains are repulsive and serve crap, like Olive Garden, which just microwaves frozen dinners.
Huh? Why would a 25-year old buy napkins, when mommy has them, and Chipotle and Starbucks let you take as many as you like for free?
The reason was so that the guarantee on the cooking vessels wouldn't be voided.
Penny-wise, pound-foolish, their patrons noticed, and became former patrons.
The chain has gone back to using salted water.
Once they made paper towels that you could separate in half, our home never bought napkins again.
They'll avoid paying full price for clothing, something that is wreaking havoc on retailers like Macy's and Sears.
Um...AMAZON.com....hello? Not just millennials!
They'll avoid investing in the stock market, having seen how investments can go wrong.
Um...stock market at all-time highs, clearly not missing millennial bucks.
Funny that, I ate at Longhorn in Dayton, Ohio once. The manager brought the steak out and showed it to me before it was cooked. I suddenly had about six people waiting on me. I started pounding longnecks in observance. I don’t know who they thought I was, I still appreciated the old school presentation. I haven’t seen that style since a young Marine in Memphis many years ago.
Yep. My cousins' kids are all Millennials and I can't stand a single one. ALL rabid liberals. ALL brainwashed against Trump, the Wall, Israel, capitalism, even America itself. And of course, ALL college educated.
what constitutes full price? there is no such retail condition
