One time my order at a restaurant came to $17.76, and I remarked, “well, that was a memorable year.” The (white) girl cashier said, “oh yeah, what happened? Did someone win a Super Bowl or something?” I’m sure I rolled my eyes.
I tried to give her some hints. She got zero of them. Then we asked every other person working at the restaurant that we encountered. Only one young man, about 30 minutes later answered correctly.
This was in the late 90’s. I’m sure it’s gone even more downhill since then.
Wow. Incredible.
There are so many videos on YouTube now showing how brain-dead stupid college kids are.
