I believe the real reason people are so upset about the so called "gen Z stare" is less about the act itself and more about what it symbolizes.
The high-trust, cordial, welcoming society people knew from up until the early 2010s is gone and the young generations tasked themselves with delivering this cold message.
Asking low wage workers to cheer their customers is offensive, they are not paid enough to do that, all you get back is a passive-aggressive blank stare.
Being less than two meters away from a stranger is a violation of their personal space, just like the lockdowns taught them.
Interacting with strangers in general is a no-go: no more free gratitude, chitchatting and other spontaneous interactions in the name of a "cordiality" nobody cares about anymore.
The era of undeserved, unconditional wholeheartedness is over and zoomers are letting everyone know.

What a weird generation.

>>212736299 (OP)
toning down the anglo fake cheerfulness isn't necessarily bad, but people shouldn't swing too hard to the other side either

>>212736323
Millennials, Xers and Boomers even grew up in a world where softcore porn was everywhere but it was also one-sided. Like you got a Playboy from your dad's box in the garage. You some hardcore porn on the sidewalk.
Zoomers grew up with 1000 women's lib sites saying you shouldn't drink around men, written by people who legitimately just don't enjoy sex. By the 2010s women like Dr Ruth were passe and everyone thought we won a sexual liberation.
What we didn't realize is the sexual revolution is ongoing. Kids are turning 16 every day. Kids are turning 21 every day. Girls and boys are becoming men and women every day. And if you just sort of push against teaching women about vibrators and teaching men how to lick a clit you're gonna create a more prudish generation.
Just look at Zoomer Girl sock and shoe choices. Even the pants.

>The high-trust, cordial, welcoming society people knew from up until the early 2010s
KEK you retards were certainly not saying this in the 2010s saying that society had already collapsed. What a load of bullshit from yet again the aging generation. And I'm a millennial before you start with your tranny screeching.

>>212736299 (OP)

Lol as if

>>212736521
As someone who has grown to love white people's cheerfulness I agree. It can be turned down a bit.

>>212736475
you're not owed a conversation.

>>212736526
Revolutions are cyclical, hence the name. We triumphed over the nipple-panickers just to see feminists and their eunauchs declare that actshually, all of the boob is bad too and causes rape.

Emoting when being talked to is something you learn to do by spending time talking to people IRL. Zoomers mostly talk to people from behind a screen and didnt learn to do that in the same proportions generations before did. Its not that hard to understand

>>212736323
Gay zoomers are pretty chaste too compared to their predecessors.

>>212736299 (OP)
I'm Australian and trying to communicate with zoomers through the McDonald's drive through is fucking insane they legitimately are retarded. I had better communication skills when I was nine.

>millennial women who literally can't stfu for 2 whole minutes feel uncomfortable when younger people just want to focus on their work
ftfy
I worked as an intern at a company this past spring and there was one girl there who would constantly mention how I was "the quietest intern they've ever had!" My boss still complimented me on how well I meshed and interacted with the team in my exit interview.

>>212736521
As an autist even I can drum up the energy to at least say "please" and "thankyou". I went through life learning the various social cues normaloids use so I'm not ostracized immediately for being a blank faced ape.
They can fucking learn it too.

>>212736778
>I can only focus at work and act like a NPC because I lack the basic communicative skills every normal human has
Lmaoing @ ur life

>>212736778
And now you’ve hit on the truth. For however bad zoomers are or aren’t, millennial women are possibly the worst generation in the past several hundred years. They might even be worse than boomers in the way fentanyl is worse than heroin. Zoomer women are unbelievably better than millennial women.

>>212736659

Millennial women are going to be terrifying to deal with in 20 years. It actually might be over for us.

zoomer girl is better because shes sending fun stuff and is young

annoying can be bad but thats why you have sex to work off the stress

>>212737095
I think gen alpha might be even worse than zoomers. Younger zoomers already defer tons of their thinking to AI, I can only imagine how bad it'll be in 5 years when gen alpha starts reaching adulthood and entering the workforce.
Could you fucking imagine?

>>212737091
only if you give me a tip ;)

>>212736884
Working for tips is nigh rock bottom in my view. However, I agree that you are not owed the illusion that you live in a good society, especially by some other slave who simply isn't down for the performative nonsense.

>>212736526
zoomers think it’s weird to wear flip flops because somehow they see bare feet at like a sex thing

>>212737095
at least the millennial can read

>>212737093
Zoomerchads rule this board(or will rule it in a few years if gookmoot's statistics regarding the average age of a 4chan poster are correct).

>>212737197
post the statistics, I'm curious

>>212736778
it’s not just office workers retard. I went to a restaurant where the fucking zoomette hostess wouldn’t even greet us and just grabbed menus and started walking to the table without saying a word

>>212736940
It's even more grim when you put it like that.

>>212737033
Even a retard like me can fake happiness around strangers. Being nice to randos costs nothing, I always smile to clerks and waiters because I like being nice to others.

at least old people have the excuse of being old and retarded. A mid 20s adult shouldn’t have the same 1000 yard stare as an 80 year old does

I take pleasure in never tipping. I will tip at a restaurant but anyone else? Get FUUUUUCKED

I’m not seething it’s genuinely offputting. It reminds me of the scene in elf when he takes the girl on a date and just storms around from place to place without saying a word and she’s confused like “do I follow you or…?” what I’m saying is that there’s nothing based about acting like a social retard

>>212737399
who tips at places other than a restaurant? this is like bragging about only peeing in a bathroom

>>212736944
nobody cares about being approved by basedllenials and boomers

But... low income jobs always had angry/cold/non-caring/non-responsive workers. That was a thing in the 90s when I was a kid and never went away.
Or worst, the type that fake being cheerful really badly on purpose just to mess with you.

>>212737317
Yeah I'm not sure where this hatred for zoomer service workers is coming from when we were having to work along side retarded pot heads who couldn't be bothered to show up on time, assuming they even bothered showing up at all.

>>212737227
That's good. I don't want some gay fake conversation with a server. I just want to make the transaction and talk to my date or friends or whoever I'm with

>>212737435
You don't tip taxis and delivery guys?

>>212737416
They are concentrated on boards like /fa/ or /co/. Very few of them on /tv/.

>>212737227
>no fake coerced bullshit from anyone, straight to the point
Problem?

I've never seen gen z stare irl. Any female zoomers I've interacted with have been fairly polite and friendly.

>>212737416
No it means 3/10s

Are you dumb?

>>212737435
have you been anywhere ever in the last 5 years??? Some self service check out places ask for a tip. I’ve seen fucking WEBSITES ask for tips upon checkout. You’ve never had the little ipad flipped over to you after picking up a drink or lunch asking for a tip?

>>212737433
It's something very minor that everyone would forget but it still bothers you even now so it caused at least some level of seethe. I had to deal with multiple rude waitresses during my life yet I don't care enough to be bothered by it.

Unironically are you like that on 4chan as well? Or do you call people you disagree with tranny/jeet/brown/retard etc.

>>212737467
Nobody is asking for a full on conversation you disingenuous faggot. A hostess should at least say something like “hi party of 4? Follow me.” The bare fucking minimum. Zoomers need to gtfo of this thread and stop defending acting like sub room temperature IQ zombies

Smalltalk makes my fucking skin crawl. If someone asked me how my day was and I said anything other than "good" they would have a seizure and die. If you don't give a shit don't railroad me into helping you keep the illusion you do.

Is that why they are so hostile? I'm reserved but conversational enough, average height, in shape, good looking with no defects like balding, bulbous nose, etc. and women post in like 2003 is so oddly hostile and rude in stuff workplace (and you aren't trying to chat them up or score at all, never had any interest). With clearly gay or, at least, very effeminite skinny as hell guys that are chill though.

>>212737490
why would I tip a taxi? they get paid a fare.
why would I pay a delivery guy? every place that delivers charges a delivery fee.

>>212737490
hell no

>>212737648
Small talk is how you gauge if someone is a psycho. And you're failing at it, which is why people think you're a psycho.

I had literally no idea what this was until my entire social media feed was flooded with it in the last 2-3 days. I think this is another generational divide and conquer psyop

>>212737654
I was just asking because there are actual good and polite anons on /tv/ that are interested in conversations instead of just spouting buzzwords. Are you one of them?

>>212737648
>Zoomie clearly can’t read
Nobody is asking for small talk. You retards can’t even say “hi” or “thank you” or look people in the eyes. If you can’t even muster a simple “goodmorning” to a neighbor a coworker you’re either socially retarded or going out of your way to be a prick

>>212737556
There won't be a response to this.

>>212737634
>A hostess should at least say something like “hi party of 4? Follow me.”
Why? You're an effeminate retard who needs every tiny interaction to have some gay ritual attached to it.

>>212736299 (OP)
I've noticed this a bit recently - I haven't been very outgoing or social since COVID other than drinking/playing darts and pool at bars and chatting up women, and that is dicey enough, but I noticed recently a jarring disconnect in basic human interactions that wasn't there before.
I'll go up to a counter to order coffee, and whereas in the past, baristas would usually make an effort to put on a bit of "cheeriness" or at least the "customer service voice", now it's like these people do not even register that there is a human being speaking to them, like they're looking at a phone app and disinterestedly selecting their next work tasks without feeling watched or engaged, like they are mentally still on their couch scrolling tiktok. At first I thought it was a problem with me, but they behave the same with other customers, too. Often, they won't even start the interaction with a "what can i get for you?", just stand there converting oxygen to carbon dioxide and stare dejectedly/emptily at you until you tell them what you want. "Thank you"s aren't returned with "you're welcome" - absolutely no semblance of politeness or decency. Whatever is going on in schools and social media is not making people into human beings anymore, just husks.
>>212736659
and you're not owed a wage for doing jack shit. interacting with customers effectively and pleasantly is at least 50% of the job

>>212737514
it's mostly the usual "I've had one bad interaction with a younger person, future generations are doomed!" shit that humans have been doing for millennia

>>212737622
I do that as well, depending on the context.

>>212737686
Really? because every boomer i know does nothing but have smalltalk and they are all lead poisoned retards
>>212737696

The alleged kindest generation cannot even offer the kindness of being cordial. Kek

I am autistic and I hate boomers. I avoid speaking to them in public and usually pretend I don't hear them. I rent a room from a boomer and never answer the phone when they call or answer the door when they knock. You people crashed society with no survivors and brought in infinity Mexicans and Indians to replace me.

No we're not using that phrase. I like walking into a store and not being accosted by 6 sales reps. If I need help I'll ask. It's the Boomers who are freaked out when they aren't offered to be fellated by underpaid workers every time they walk into a building.

I know this is a made up scenario you're using to bait people, but fuck off. Nobody besides the oldest piece of shit boomers enters a store and greets the fucking employees. If you're s human being you'd know staff is trained to greet customers and that's always how it's worked, and you'd know how common it is for the staff to greet people and just be ignored entirely by asshole faggots like you.

>>212737850
You're still stuck here >>212737731

>>212737688
I think its that. Also, I have found people to be a little less friendly post-covid, which does make sense. It was hard on a lot of people. And people are spending more time online and away from real irl socialization, so they are less practiced in basic good manners.

Its a lot of things, really. Check the news, its all about how awful everyone is to each other, even though the people they interact with in reality are fine. People are just as guilty as psyopsing themselves.

Thats why i try to be as good humored, cheerful, and patient with everyone. It is amazing how well it can spread.

>>212737802
> i'm focusing on my job
the best part is how we’re in the middle of a competency crisis and they try to act like this is the reason they can’t even say goodmorning. learn to torrent or hook up a fucking printer Jesus Christ. It’s incredible how you guys were born and raised on tech but have no idea how anything works

I don't get it. If you pay someone minimum wage of course he won't put in any effort. I know I wouldn't.

>>212737835

its incredible how tech companies made it harder and harder to learn about tech. windows 11 is so much more obtuse than 7. Why are certain functions hid behind a sub-menu when you right click?

Any more to it than that?

The competency crisis definitely isn't a psyop. Unfortunately for you, you're living through it, right this very minute. It's probably some mystery meat mutt-thing with a horrible genetic admixture that has slightly above room temperature IQ. All they can do is stare, mouth agape, struggling to breath manually and focus on just being alive at that moment.

America. White. You know, sometimes the problem reqlly is your generation zoomzoom

It warms my heart seeing how everyone collectively and rightfully shits on zoomzooms on a daily basis.
Most of the shit they get mocked for most of the time are trends and nulanguage that backfire on them.
At worst they'll mass suicide like lemmins, at best they'll one day revolt against the cruel world and restore the fourth reich.

game of thrones ended like a decade ago lol and nobody “hangs around the water cooler” anyway. Do offices even have them anymore? This is my own personal experience but I work with a ton of early-mid 30s millenials and we don’t chit chat nearly as much as this thread is making it out like we do. The zooms and millenials are all the same. The whole thing is a made up psyop to divide us anyway

NTA but agree that is retarded thinking. I did bar jobs in between college terms and I hated hotels because of how overdone and false and subservient the customer service is so I preferred actual bars where customer service is not some holy cow, no table service, etc. but say hello to them, what can I get you, and a mutual thank you when they get a drink and they pay always occurred.

oh fuck off with this. we have access to more and free education and information at the touch of a button than we ever had in human history. This generation and younger is just lazy and doesn’t even WANT to learn and stay willfully ignorant.

lol what? I go weeks at a time without seeing a brown person
the undesirables are kept in their own shitty parts of major metropolitan areas, where they belong. this is purposeful. redlining was a major success
when whites decide we want a piece of their turf we come in and gentrify, price the browns out of town, then criminalize vagrancy so we can lock up the stragglers.
anyone who tells you being white is under threat in America is selling you fear-based propaganda. this is our nation and our laws and economic systems ensure it always will be.

>>212738377
So you're a cool wine aunt?

Reading this thread makes me feel legitimately lucky to not have encountered such zoomers. I've had interactions with 16-18 year olds occassionally over the past 2 years and they behaved like normal people.

>zoomer customer service workers when you remind them their job is to serve customers

I think here it’s the difference between “not wanting” to make small talk and “physically can’t” make small talk. Like when I’m walking my dogs at night and see another person coming up walking theirs I’ll think “oh shit here we go” but I’ll still smile or nod or say good evening as I pass by. I think a zoomer would be too petrified to even do that

>>212736377
You're white, though.

serving a customer means taking their order and bringing them their food.
if you think catering to your emotional needs is part of my job you are simply wrong.
why are millennials such needy entitled cunts? maybe your parents should have beaten you more, that way you wouldn't feel like you're owed kindness or being shortchanged when it isn't given by a stranger.

i think you need a software update, that's the same thing you said before. maybe this is why you guys aren't able to say hello and thank you. why is it so hard to greet a customer or respond to them with maybe "okay" or "sure". did a therapist teach you that was emotional labor? huh. I guess it's too much to expect you guys to be human. sorry buddy, enjoy the state mandated 20% tip for your emotionally draining service of selling mattresses or whatever

you missed the point of my entire post. Replace “small talk” with “cordial” and that was my point. I don’t think zoomers don’t want to be cordial I genuinely think they can’t or don’t know how. The result of being raised on a screen and 20 different antidepressants by the time they’re 12

The draining part of customer service is literally your other co-workers
Sometimes you get the unreasonably dickish customer who's never going to be placated but 98% of the time your customers are just there to be in and out

I'm 25 and I nearly kill myself for every job. I'm actually going to be working in care homes eventually. I, for one, am disappointed in the way my generation has turned out. Many people, today, generally upset me. I just want to help people. I want to give something to the world, even if it goes less appreciated, or is received with outright rejection. I want to feel like I can be worth something.

>>212738675
both are conditional, dipshit. all human interaction outside the bonds of family are transactional.
when some rando stranger I'll never see again comes into my place of work, I have no incentive to go out of my way to cater to their emotional needs. so I don't.
cry about it.
