since you were taught what would now be considered antiquated manners, often "no problem" reply to a thank you is given following things that are indeed a problem.
I'm not the only one who noticed. Scroll back a bit and you'll encounter at least one other person.
I'm try to explain to you that it's cultural difference between yourself and those younger than yourself, they aren't in fact disrespecting you.. YOU feel like they are.
So it's perfectly okay to drop the F bomb three times in a sentence when conducting commerce, right? Why not? It's done all the time in casual conversations in Philly.
I understood what you were getting at from the very beginning. This current generation thinks they can re-write the rules of civilization to accommodate their own peculiar idiosyncrasies. And in that regard they're no different from the generations that came before them. However, manners are still important, as they are employed in arenas of economic and political power.
If you think manners mean nothing, try that millennial casual speech at your next job interview. It might work if you're looking for a job slinging bad/overpriced coffee. My own take is that it's rude. American business runs on customer service. Foreign business is even more sensitive about manners.
I hope this clears this up for you
Yes, it's been illuminating - but perhaps not the way you intended.
and seriously.. stop with your ageism rants it's at best unbecoming.
Rather, isn't it actually ageist for young people to force their idea of culture onto older people?
