It is a shame that there are no generations between Boomers and Z...
88 0 ReplyNo no, don't bring millennials into this! We're just trying to mind our own business...
48 0 ReplyGen X is forgotten again...
37 0 ReplyAh, you finally learned from Gen X?
Let's see how long that lasts.

Don't hire baby boomers, they'll expect to be able to buy a house and a car and raise a family on a part-time salary.
Then they'll invite you out to go... bowling!
83 0 ReplyBoomers are 64 years or older. Most boomers are retired. This is just trolling
79 0 ReplyI've seen plenty of old folks working at places like this unfortunately. Social programs are really failing us
17 0 ReplyWalmart has sought out retirees, particularly for greeter positions, for a long time.

60 years or older*. Plenty are still working, and not everyone retires exactly at 65. Especially these days…
8 0 ReplyI never implied 65, the retirement age in Norway is 67. But I thought Boomers were those born before 1960, so I guess I remembered that part wrong. 7 (or 5 in your country) years is a bit more than those 2 years, fair enough.

It's also dated 4/20. I'm amazed they didn't manage to sneak a 69 in there somewhere to get the full meme potential out of it.
8 0 ReplyIt would have been so easy too! "Must be born before '69 to apply"

The boyfriends standing there for the whole shift does sound bizarre. Maybe they were chatting with the cashiers the whole time and of course that wouldn't be okay
64 0 ReplyWhy?
They are human beings, and I want to buy stuff, not get undivided attention.
17 0 ReplyWell you're supposed to be at work. To your employer or to customers it might look like you're distracted and unprofessional, which would reflect badly on the store.

I used to hang out and chat with my friends at their jobs for extended periods of time all the time when I was young. I just made sure not to interrupt or get in their way when they needed to deal with a customer. And their bosses were always cool with it.

This was probably more the cashiers got shouted at for talking to their boyfriends for a couple minutes when they came in.
63 0 Reply...And the store was permanently closed a month later.
44 0 ReplyI would love to see any boomer take this job.
43 0 ReplyBoomers are incredibly fragile. Any time they don't understand something their go-to move is to get angry.
32 0 ReplyI was thinking more about the massive cognitive dissonance they’ll suffer between their wages (with this job) and the CoL.

picture of handwritten note taped to a window that criticizes Gen Z and praises Baby Boomers.
I'm not the brightest cookie in the toolshed but I know bait when I see it.
Edit: The top left hand corner of this is also dated 4/20. As the Brits would say "Someone's taking the piss."
37 0 ReplyThank you for saying this. Whether this is a real sign or a fake sign, it should be treated as a fake sign.

Just hire the boyfriends?
35 0 ReplyAnd tell them how much their girlfriends suck? (no pun intended)

If this is real and in the US, I would love to see a Gen Xer or elder Millennial apply, make sure to mention their generation, and then get this dumbass owner to say in writing that they aren't hiring them because they aren't a Boomer.
IANAL, but that seems like a slam dunk age discrimination case as long as the applicant is at least 40.
33 0 ReplyMaybe pay one dollar above minimum wage and see if you get people to apply
30 0 ReplyThat is a hilarious reason to have someone quit.
26 0 ReplyHire the boyfriend to work the register next to your employee, so they CAN stand there for the entire shift, and even get PAID for it!
23 0 ReplyYeah, but have you seen Aiden? Aiden sucks.
27 0 ReplyThat’s a real good point!
9 0 ReplyYeah Aiden sucks, but without Aiden, Lexi quits.

skipped a few years there but ok. not like he’s worth working for in the first place.
18 0 ReplyBecause he doesn't want people who aren't hired standing there during work hours? Possibly being a nuissance?
7 0 Replybecause he wants 60 year olds since the 20 year olds weren’t working out. because he isn’t considering 21-59 year olds. because selection bias.

On the bright side, a shop is about to be sold for cheap - maybe it can be converted into a home living space? :-p
16 0 Replytotally fake... nobody would hire only 70 year old employees...
12 0 ReplyUnless you want to run a country
9 0 ReplyExcept the 72 year old entrepreneur.
