Facts but the way this just popped up as I was watching a TikTok about the Gen Z stare. The timing is ironic.

The one time I didn’t act like a my little pony on crack (bc my power went out and I had to wake up at 5am to drive and use my bf’s shower, and I had a broken finger as a barista) this one lady chewed me out because I made her feel like shit bc I didn’t smile at her

It’s millennials saying we don’t know what it means and it’s when they come in and we immediately don’t acknowledge you and just stare. Meanwhile when they do come in they are either on the phone, not even paying attention, or don’t know what they want. When they finally decide they just jump into the order. What do you expect me to do. And they get so confused when I have to ask are they dining with us or taking it to go bc we offer both at the restaurant. Like you skipped that part

my fav thing is millennials and gen x slowly starting to admit they’re talking about the customer service stare, and not this entirely made up thing that doesn’t happen

I hated being a cashier 😭 old guys would always be like “you should smile more” “well don’t you look happy to be here” and shit like that and it’s like bro my job is to scan your shit and get you out of here sorry I don’t want to smile for 8 hours straight 😭

I work at an animal shelter and my manager once got into a fistfight with a man who yelled at me 💅 I wish they were all like that

The amount of times I’ve gone “good morning 🥰” as an ex hostess and the customer just cut me off and went “FOUR” I was itching not to just yell back “FIVE”

As a server I'd greet tables, and they'd just respond with "water" well one night I was fed up and went "let's try that again, bc I don't think that's how you respond to ppl saying hello." They didn't like that and I got a shitty tip but at least i got that outta my system.

i’m a host and whenever i ask how someone is doing and they don’t answer i just keep asking till they answer in a tone that gets more concerned every time like a “are you guys okay can everyone hear is something wrong?” kinda voice 😭 im this 👌 close to responding with “wow a number is an odd emotion” when i ask how they’re doing and they say how many they have
