It seems like the hearing in most situations. The thing is when it comes to customer service it’s never actually what the boomers are asking... it’s that they’re being such pretentious entitled pieces of shit about it. It’s not that they want the music turned down even, it’s that they act like it’s a personal insult to themselves that we had the audacity to think the music should be at a volume too loud for them in the first place. Which then makes the employee wonder why the hell they think they are in control of the restaurant that they made a choice to go to. I’m not going to go to a sushi place and act like is a insult to me they don’t serve chicken fingers. People look at me like I ruined Christmas when I tell them we don’t have fries. If a bar wants to have a certain atmosphere I’m not going to ask them to change it, I’m going to eat somewhere that matches better with what I want if I don’t like it. Plenty of middle aged people do this too but more of that generation googles reataurants before hand to make sure it’s something they’ll like. I don’t really know a millennial who doesn’t know exactly what a restaurant is about before even deciding when to eat there.
