I can't stand conceited old folks. There's one that pops in at work every once in awhile. One of those guys who enjoy telling you how to do your job better. I swear he has adhd or something. He literally believes he knows more than younger generations just because he's older. That's fine, but its annoying having talks with him when he cuts you off everytime you try to make a rebuttal to his claims. If his feelings get hurt, he leaves, which is a good thing as he won't come back until sometime next week.
When I use to work retail, I didn't mind most old people. Most were friendly and really appreciative if you went a little further to help them out. A lot more than younger people.
But if it was about a complaint, they were some of the worse to deal with.
Probably the strangest was when I worked at a grocery store in the frozen section.
Had one older couple come up and asked where the end cap of defrosted cool whip had gone.
I was slightly confused, as the only end caps in my sections, were all freezers.
But they insisted they had gotten one that was already defrosted.
I told them we would never do something like that because when frozen goods defrost, they lose a significant amount of their shelf life.
After a little bit longer, I've come to realize what had happened.
They had pulled one off of our frozen end cap for thanksgiving. And then spent a couple of hours shopping afterwards.
So it had mostly defrosted by the time they got home.
