I’ve heard it explained that “hey” used to be more of an urgent way to get someone’s attention, rather than a casual “hello” like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.

Constantly reminded of that one tweet like “if you are always ‘giving people a hard time’ please know that you are the most tiring kind of person to deal with.” Some extroverts with strong ideological beliefs about hierarchy just cannot stop giving people shit. Especially when there’s a power dynamic. This is why it’s always customers to clerks, bosses to employees, and parents to children, but never in a million years the other way around.
