I tell you the few millennials i work with dont take NO shit from customers..

Just...ill give you some quotes:

"Sir, you know what premiums you paid...its also your responsibility to keep up with your policy"

"Ma'am you need to calm down and stop yelling. Youre yelling in my ear and i have a headache."

"Ma am you aren't verified and we are going to give out information to just anybody"

"Ok maam i can get you a supervisor but i advise you that when you get on the line with the supervisor you watch your tone because if you talk to them like that, youll get no where!"

 

Omg lololol i love it!

I semi regularly get complaints from old people about this 22yo I work with who's bailing next month once she gets her degree anyway about her being abrupt, unfriendly, cold, one guy said she's like a drill sergeant, 

and when I ask them what happened it's always because they just don't like how she doesn't choose to engage in small talk conversation with them, just does her job and expects the exchange to end once they have everything they need so she can get back to her work, 

and when they keep trying to push it talking about whatever sad sack bullshit or trying to make their whimsical remarks about something completely unrelated she stays composed and gives them absolutely nothing back beyond basic stock responses of whatever emotion makes sense, usually empathy because they're always whining about what a long day they've had driving back from their Florida vacation and eating at Applebee's twice, 

to this person who is currently busy at her fucking job,

they fish for it and when they don't get the fake laughter and little extended "sincere" conversation with a service industry worker that they're used to making people suffer, these entitled fucking old shit babies dropping close to $200 for a night in a regular ass hotel room then try to get this college kid in trouble at her $10 an hour job, at which she has performed optimally for two years, because they can't fucking stand it, it makes them so mad it drives them crazy,

and they always think they're being the normal person in all of this, drawing attention to someone else who needs adjusting to this world that they mistakenly think they control let alone influence in any way with their review website-dictated conscious purchasing decisions on which apparently the affability of the lowest rung company representatives weigh heavily, 

so aggrieved that someone working an entry level job in a notoriously sub-living wage paying industry less than two decades away from complete automation didn't perk the fuck up for the fortieth identical person they encountered a little more than halfway through their eight and a half hour shift, 

aggrieved and wholly oblivious that in a visibly spoiled and decomposing world of systems designed to maximize the efficiency of the continuous extraction of the extremely tenuous and ever diminishing wealth from every possible angle of eight billion people and counting rapidly, nobody has fucking time for them anymore.

They want everything to be homestyle, and refuse to recognize that it's not coming at minimum wage. If the girl at the counter had a house and a couple kids and didn't need to think about bills maybe she'd engage in some conversation.

None of us can afford car insurance and most of us have gotten ticketed for it and are always anxious about getting pulled over on our way to and from work every day but you're right Mr and Mrs Every White Person From Michigan Who Winters Down South, it's unacceptable that the full time college student who also works full time didn't seem wholly interested in a bonus round of idle conversation with you and wasn't sympathetic enough to your story about leaving the credit card you would have preferred to pay with because it gets you more cash back points at the second to last chain restaurant you ate at today, 

because she didn't say anything more than "oh my gosh I'm so sorry that happened to you, if you need anything please let us know"

What do you mean none of us? This is built in to my cost of living.

That sounds friendly to me, someone complained about that?

He's speaking of wage slaves who debate between car insurance and rent. People older than me are working in fast food because if you stay it can be a decent alternative due to the turnover rate. But even most of those people are jocking for a better restaurant position.

I suppose I pick and choose my battles in life, more appropriately. I mean, we are talking about "the man"

Me and the people I work with in my dept. I know there are people that exist who can afford it, just not where I work 

I suppose I am confused then, when I had my expensive BMW... my full coverage was $79 a month, and less if I paid it up front for the year.... much less. I know I HAVE to have insurance, or go to jail. So.... it may be a situation of understanding the value, idk.... I just know I can't fight that part of the system so I drive well, and I negotiate my insurance.

I never witness the interactions they complain about but I've worked with her enough to know she's never rude, always stoic, barely a slight smile, hits every mark for politeness but gives nothing extra,  that's what's so upsetting to them, Trip Advisor SAID the front desk staff was friendly and they weren't very friendly! (someone has actually said this to me)

We've had auto insurance price threads before and I don't understand the disparity between some places so I know it's generally higher here than it is other places but bare minimum basic liability coverage runs almost $70/mo on the low end here for me with no accident or speeding tickets on my record

The thing is there's no flagging system to alert the state to a lapse so it's like you really only have to prove you have it once a year when you go to register your vehicle and they'll check that's it's valid, but a lapse doesn't lead to a suspended license like it does in those states where the cops can tell whether or not your insurance is current just by running your plates, and the fine only amounts to less than half a year of insurance, no jail. 

I mean it'd be great if I had another eighty dollars a month but even if I did it wouldn't go toward car insurance tbh bc it's only a matter of time before I'll need that money for repairs or a new car or anything else in the world

Oh, I would agree... Insurance is bullshit... which is why Warren Buffett owns them... I mean, he can't lose.

And, the idea of insurance is just shit... but I can't change that and I just don't want the problem, so it's built in to my cost of living... like rent/mortgage/car payment/child support/ etc

Luckily I work at night so I don't really have to deal with these people except when they're on their way out and just have to let fly a little early morning tantrum but her job on her shift yeah absolutely, I really don't know how they do it. Like it's not the least bit physically demanding, but holy shit

Yeah, zeni's possibly true accounts of how New Jersey handles things makes it sound like the most mandatory bill in the world.

Any job where you have to deal with people that paid money for things is a shit show cuz a lot of people will never let you forget that they paid money for that thing

I think we can agree I may have a true understanding of how these things are, without his sensationalism. But if we don't, I would say... good luck? I get it, I do... but it's just not something I would compromise before considering an alternate means of transportation.

arent you a millennial? most of us here would fall under that age bracket. 

The generation brackets are actually contradictory and overlapping at many points. You shouldn't even take them seriously according to a lot of officials in the social science sector..

I'm in line for a management position at my store
I've never been written up for anything even though I'm essentially the Jim Halpert of my workplace

One day, of course one of the few times I have to cover some cashier, some guy is mad that he's not getting the sale price on something and I explain he has to have a card I can sign him up for and that this is what "with card" is referring to on the tags. Explain it's free to join and some of the benefits of doing so.

He walks off and puts it back
on his way out he's like "U NEED TO CHANGE THE SIGN BUDDY"
and I'm like

"yeah, maybe read the tag next time."

he leaves
haven't seen him since

my answer to not seeing him again is "good"
