Clean up on aisle 5

Baby boomers will quit from natural causes though

This comment is gold
Aw, my folks are boomers and I hate thinking about this :'(

It is a shame that there are no generations between Boomers and Z...

No no, don't bring millennials into this! We're just trying to mind our own business...
- Gen X is forgotten again...
- Ah, you finally learned from Gen X?
  Let's see how long that lasts.
Complete disappointment tbh

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!

Boomers are 64 years or older. Most boomers are retired. This is just trolling

I've seen plenty of old folks working at places like this unfortunately. Social programs are really failing us
- Walmart 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…
- I 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.
- It 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

Why?
They are human beings, and I want to buy stuff, not get undivided attention.
- Well 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.

...And the store was permanently closed a month later.

I would love to see any boomer take this job.

Boomers are incredibly fragile. Any time they don't understand something their go-to move is to get angry.
- I was thinking more about the massive cognitive dissonance they’ll suffer between their wages (with this job) and the CoL.

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."

Thank 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?

And 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.

Maybe pay one dollar above minimum wage and see if you get people to apply

That is a hilarious reason to have someone quit.

Hire 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!

Yeah, but have you seen Aiden? Aiden sucks.
- That’s a real good point!
- Yeah 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.

Because he doesn't want people who aren't hired standing there during work hours? Possibly being a nuissance?
- because 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.
