Gen Z stare?

[róisín_dubh]

44. I'm an expert at it

Xennial here (‘77). I work in a pub part time. We get everyone from Gen Z’ers to Boomers in. The older folks know what they want and don’t hold me up when I’m busy. The inexperienced drinkers or the young lads often do not.

Some Gen Z folks seem to have the social skills of a damp sponge and will just stare at me when I ask what they want. In return, they get the same dead stare back and I go about serving someone else until they get their shit together to order. No banter, no “I’ll wait”. Nope, you want to play dumb, you either get that in return, get ignored or a snappy Jersey attitude, complete with eye roll. That usually shocks the Brits’ systems.
