Row Jimmy, you've clearly never worked in retail. 10 year old kids have far better manners than the grown adults who come into my retail store screaming and cussing and whining and crying and stomping their feet because their $1 off coupon didn't work. I, a 25 year old, greet every customer with a big smile and a sincere "Good morning sir/ma'am/ladies/gentlemen." And not only do I get the lack of eye contact, but even if they did mutter a grunt under their breath, most simply roll their eyes and walk away. Once they get their items, they throw it onto the belt and say nothing as I ring them up. A polite "hello" is rewarded with a flat sharp annoyed "hi." If I am lucky enough to ask them about the weather, the customer behind them shouts at me "I'M IN A HURRY". And then I get the "Why is this item $5.99? It was $5.98 on the sign" and they'll argue with me for five minutes, then they'll hand me a coupon and tell me, "You better make sure that coupon works." And then when all is said is done, again, they'll roll their eyes and stomp off without another word. Grown adults, people. Grown adults who complain that these millenials are oh so awful, when really, I'd love to punch those people in the face and smash their items and tell them to get the Big F out of my ******* store.

Yeah, as a retail employee, I'd gladly take the millenials over the big grown whiny stick up their *** adults.
