Tough old bird. Today’s snowflakes would be dead as soon as their cell phone battery gave out.
I had an younger employee that was an avid hiker. One day he came in and he had a new cell phone and was talking about how many songs he could have on his play list and he started talking about his next big hiking adventure and how he could listen to his music.
So I finally asked him how much time it would take him on his big walk and he said 8 hours in 8 hours back. Then I asked him what was the battery life on the phone just paying music and he looked at me dumbfounded. So I said hypothetically what if he needed his phone for an emergency but he drained his battery listening to music, what was his plan?
He finally got it and said “oh yeah”...
