Not hung up on anything, but I do acknowledge it’s a losing cause. To try and explain to socially inept people why certain terminology is frowned upon in certain settings, is like talking to a brick wall. As far as callous and bigoted, yup, sure am.

Part of the conversation talking about how older people get upset at how a server answers them? Yes.

If you say you don’t care, then there’s no reason for you to comment about that aspect of the conversation.

I’m trying to explain to the socially inept why using certain terminology in a hospitality setting can be frowned upon. Unsurprisingly, they can’t grasp this very simple concept.

Did I ever give you the impression that I cared what a bunch of strangers think of me? You can choose to disregard all that I have said and continue to talk like a fifth grader, that will have absolutely no effect on myself or anyone I know.

Your last sentence screams,”help, I am lonely and need attention“.

I’m sorry if I gave anyone the impression that I gave a fuck what these zoomers and young millennials thought of my opinion, they’ve already proven they are socially inept.

So, why are you even commenting on a conversation specifically about the terminology being used?

Which is fine if you’re just chatting amongst your friends. Unfortunately, that’s not what this is about.

Funny, because I was thinking the exact same thing about your comment. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why would I care?

I don’t think you understand what that word means. If you’re being waited on and paying good money for it, you would prefer to hear your server say “you’re welcome” rather “no problem”.

If you’re socially inept, it’s not surprising if polite traditions are lost on you.

Right right right

I don’t need you to tell me my feelings are valid, I’m not a zoomer. 🤣

I’m not taking offense, I’m just trying to help y’all understand why using the term “no problem “ versus “you’re welcome”, in a hospitality setting, is wrong. If you fail to understand why, that’s your problem.

You’re right, why should words actually have an inherent meaning? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Using semantics to make your point, is lazy and misleading. Of course you could say “you’re welcome” in a tone that could be taken as rude, but that wasn’t the point. The point was showing the difference between the two phrases.

It’s not just my experience though, it’s all over the news, LMAO

I just pointed out the problem. That phrase can interpreted many ways. We are also not talking about office buildings, we are specifically talking about the hospitality industry, where the language you use makes a significant impact on the customer’s experience.

Ok. 🤦🏻‍♂️
