I’ve heard it explained that “hey” used to be more of an urgent way to get someone’s attention, rather than a casual “hello” like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.

    Your entire argument is based in semantics.

        I don’t give two flying fucks what the waiter says, bring me my food and don’t be an ass with your demeanor.

                Maybe the older people just shouldn’t get upset? Why do we need to pander to them? Cant they just allow us to respond to thank you the way we want to?

                Goes both ways. And yes I have reason, this is a child Conversation of one of my comments.

                Society should stop pandering to them, eventually there would be no places they could go without accepting they’ve lost. Plenty of places do fine already being hospital under other means.

                    There’s everything wrong with being entitled lmfao.

                    So why is it acceptable for them to be upset, but it’s not acceptable for them to say no problem? That’s not how life works.

                    Pandering is only part of the job because people were incorrectly taught that. Pandering also comes in many forms. Why do you think the Karen cafe does so well?

                    Eventually they will learn they have to accept society won’t pander specially to them, the rest of the population our numbers them and eventually hospitablility will switch to the more profitable market. Which will be pissing boomers off even more.
