Boomers please take note

[Crushingdandelions]

First sign you're of a certain age...you always pay in cash and count out every last frickin' bit of change no matter how big the queue is behind you.

Just don't? Use a card please. I don't want to count out your 5p pieces.

Also - why do you need a receipt when you have bought 2 items worth £1.49?

Firstly… apart from an insult, what is a boomer?
Secondly… what fucking business is it of yours how people pay for goods?

Whippersnapper please take note: Mind your own business. How people choose to pay is up to them.

Can I suggest yoga and meditation for your patience issues?

I hope they continue to pay you in every bit of small change they have forever !

Please tell me where you work. I have some 5p pieces I need to get rid of.

You can’t say that word on Boomersnet! 😆

Born during the post war baby boom. So in their 70s or late 60s now.

ive worked at race tracks and prefer them to the zoomers (late 90s/early 00s) doing one pound bets on card and holding up the queue

(I say this as a zoomer)

Im not a boomer.

But if Im paying cash and want a receipt, you can be sure Im doing it because it's more convenient for me. I could stop and explain my reasons to you... in detail... if you like.

You'll just have to wait your turn. Why not take the time for some breathing exercises to calm down?

Because I'm standing behind a till all day taking their money? I would have thought that was sort of obvious. TBF I am a boomer myself.

No need for swearing dear@Gall10

Also - why do you need a receipt when you have bought 2 items worth £1.49?

Because they're on a state pension and need to keep track of every penny they spend? Checking it off each month. It's quite sensible to keep a log of your spending actually.

"First sign you're of a certain age."

Based on experience, I'd say that it's a toss up between the arthritis and the wrinkles.

The counting out the change doesn't come into consideration, because we've always done that - no cards when we were growing up...

First sign you’re an ageist arsehole…..

Ageist bollocks.

Agree with this

These criteria could also apply to my 10yo 😅

Umm I'm 63

They might be buying items for someone else so need receipt. I have to keep receipts if I buy something for a person I care for with learning disability just in case we are audited.

Are you one of those miserable young folk that aren't really suited to customer facing jobs? You are literally paid to be nice to customers. Give your head a wobble.

If you’re standing behind a till all day regardless, what difference does it make to you who fills that time and how?

This is just shitposting.

I’ve just gone back to cash to watch money more and it works so sorry but this is happening!!!😉

Ps work in a supermarket and since col we’re getting a lot more cash and I think it’s a good thing. Oh and 5cs aren’t useless, I’ve been able to piece together small change so many times to save breaking notes or using my card … oh I think I’m the person you hate am I?!

Have you considered a different job customer facing obviously isn't for you !

"I am a boomer myself".

Hmmm. Are you really though....You're not a sneaky little Generation Jones wannabe...?

If you were truly a Boomer, you'd glory in the beauty of someone giving you a £5 note and 63 pence to pay for a £2.63 bill.

I work behind a till sometimes and I'm often glad of the change.

Yup - got both wrinkles and arthritis. Never pay in cash unless it's by accident though.

Couldn't put it better than that myself.

So you’re retiring in a few years? Just ride it out
