    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!

    Have they tried not making the cashiers stand there the entire shift? Was gobsmacked when I saw that in supermarkets; like some sort of childish power-move to not let them sit

    Try that in Europe, you’d end up in court lol

    This is was probably more the cashiers got shouted at for talking to their boyfriends for a couple minutes when they came in.

    On the bright side, a shop is about to be sold for cheap - maybe it can be converted into a home living space? :-p

      Boomers are incredibly fragile. Any time they don’t understand something their go-to move is to get angry.

    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!

      No no, don’t bring millennials into this! We’re just trying to mind our own business…

    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.

    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
