Use to be, Americans prided themselves on how respectful and nice they were. Strangers, neighbors, co worker and just about everyone else, showing respect was something that most Americans took pride in.
Most Americans didn't mind working hard. They understood that getting a job meant giving your all, because if you slacked off, someone else had to pull up your slack. And so out of respect, everyone pulled their own weight. Businesses had the attitude that the customer was always right. A clerk would be fired for getting rude with a customer.
Now a days, with this millennial generation, there's just not much respect, unless you're like them. They wear silly clothes in public. Wear silly hair do's at work. Even those that deal directly with the public.
A few months ago, I decided to try a new restaurant. My first visit, I was greeted by a normal young person, who was dressed nicely. Was very respectful. My waitress was a normal gal. Dressed nicely. Was very respectful. Knew her job and the menu. And was just an all around great gal.
My next visit, I was greeted by some chick with blue hair. My waitress was a huge butch chick, with earrings you couldv'e put a quarter through. Baggy jeans. Also blue hair. And the worst part is, she paid very little attention to me when I was making my order. So much so, she got it mixed up. Especially the way I wanted my steak. I said "If it's more than an inch thick, I wanted it medium well. If it's thin, I want it medium. When I mentioned the steak was cooked wrong, her reply was "you wanted it medium."
Anyways, in the last couple of years, there's more stories like this.
The bottom line is there's very little respect being shown by millennials.
Anyone else, who's part of the Gen X generation noticed this?
P.S. I'm not saying that all the young people are like this. Many are just as normal as people were in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Normal young people, who dress and act normal. They're not throwing their lifestyle in your face. They're not trying to force anything on anyone. Just that more and more millennials seem to be way over dramatic and pushy, just because they can.
