I can't wait for the "GenZ are killing the restaurant business!" headlines.

[–] MacGuffin94@lemmy.world 154 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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.

[–] buzz86us@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

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!

What will the lazy boomer authors do now? Won't someone think of them?

boomer

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.
