"A woman got in line behind him, who looked to be about 70. You know, sometimes when you meet someone, you just get a sense that they're kind of an asshole? Yeah, she was one of those types. She pushed her cart up behind him, made a few comments that we all ignored about 'not having enough open registers' and 'we'll be here all day at this rate.'"
""'We'll be here all day at this rate' as though she actually has a busy schedule," said u/Go_J. "I explain this to my retired boomer parents constantly. 'You have, at a minimum, FIFTY more hours a week than I do to take care of whatever you need. I don't ever wanna hear the 'I just don't have time' excuse out of you. Get your shit together,' u/FSUjonnyD added."
A Kroger checkout around 5 P.M. had only two lanes open and both lines were eight to ten people long. One shopper stood second-to-last while a man in his mid-30s waited in the adjacent line. A roughly 70-year-old woman joined behind the man and made loud comments about the lack of open registers and being stuck there all day. Other shoppers ignored her remarks. Online reactions criticized perceived boomer entitlement and an 'always hustling' mentality, noting retirees often have ample free time and that some respond by cutting off attention-seeking behavior.
