I can't wait for the "GenZ are killing the restaurant business!" headlines.
To late us millennials already claimed that. Pretty sure we killed restaurants around the same time we killed movie theaters, trade schools, and domestic beer.
Yeah some places have gotten better and can be a pretty good deal. I'll do olive garden and they give you a salad and bread sticks with your entree, do carry out and have 2-3 meals for about $20 depending on what you get. Just have to have the right expectations.
Well we killed chain restaurants.. Mainly because nobody can afford to waste our money on microwave crap when we can make better food at home
Well yeah, but they'll move on from millennials at some point! Soon everything will be gen z's fault!
Gen z killed " millennials killed" articles
What will the lazy boomer authors do now? Won't someone think of them?
The author of this article, specifically, Chloe Berger, is in her twenties. Maybe early thirties. The youngest Baby Boomers are in their late sixties. They aren't, generally speaking, working anymore. Pretty soon you're gonna have to find a new age group to be your boogeyman. I assume it'll be Gen X.
Fair enough, it's just a stupid take then.
Or maybe I call out Zoomers and make them my boogie man. Yeah, that's what I'll do 😁
Or you could hate people for their actions and not for how old they are. Your call.
If you'd only bought fewer iPhones and avocados you could have bought a 5 bedroom house with 3 garages, a pool and a white picket fence and take a holiday abroad twice a year. You just need more discipline, pull yourself up by the bootstraps*!
*I am now going to research what bootstraps are.
Gen Z discovers the joy of home ownership lol
Gen Z discovers the joy of revolution
unlikely
Too soon
