Saying this as a young dude that has struggled with social anxiety I've noticed that alot of young people are either awkward as s*** or have glaring issues in the way they communicate with people .

I remember this weird ass encounter where me and a coworker were making a sub for these two dudes around college age. Whenever we did something they didn't like they would do this weird s*** where they would talk s*** in a whispery voice and try to show off to eachother with how much trash they could talk. It was so lame that I honestly didn't even get offended enough to point it out. Plus the amount of young dudes that be going extra hard with the mean mugging s*** is surprising and I don't mean resting b**** face either. I mean just straight up scowling and looking tight/aggressive as f*** for no reason. Also have had a ton of situations where a younger customer would be afraid to speak up or ask for a request and I'd have to fix it. Don't get me wrong I've dealt with alot of s***ty,entitled old people too but the amount of young people that I've met with a lack of social awareness is surprising.

lol welcome to customer f***ing services, heres a story for you so i was working i work in hospitality and we were fixing our valet area and every time a guest checks in our needs there car we tell them call 20 mins in advanced so this guy comes down i think it was busy at the time, so he asks for his car and i told him its going to be about 20 mins because we gotta go on the street where its rush hour to bring you car around, so 5 mins goes by or 10 he saids wheres my car i said sir its coming there is traffic outside, then he went off and said this is s***ty service i will never come here again and btw im not tipping now yu cant say s*** back to the guest or else your fired so basically you gotta tell them in a nice way to f*** off lol
