Millennial here, 33 years old... I will complain for bit, because I totally get the frustration! A lot of restaurants here started to work with ordering via a QR code that you have to scan with your phone camera. I avoid it like the plague. Having tapas or multiple orders/courses of food while constantly fiddeling with your phone just feels pathetic. Especially when your order gets lost because the technology sucks. Having a friendly interaction with a waiter and being able to actually ask them questions feels so much better The way we are disconnecting as people is a bit concerning to me personally.
I manage a hotel. I’m planning to share pieces of this conversation with our upper management team. We haven’t cut staff yet but I know it’s a possibility with how much income has dropped this year and for the coming years. I want to save our staff’s jobs! We’re an independent hotel.
I’m not laughing at kvetching Lou upset over the blackout shades. 😂 The sarcastic, sneering, crowd taunting indie rock hero is frustrated with stairs to his bed 😂 We’ve all seen the kinds of places Lou slept on tours in the early-mid 90’s. (I know, it’s all about perspective and I genuinely love it). I’m 30 years older, too, and man I am not graceful or happy as things are no longer familiar. I also dated a chick everyone called “the Pfister”. Fun episode. You have to get the frustrations out, and you two have a beautiful married couple rhythm. ❤
19:20 im ✨gen z💫 working in food service and i def feel like a lot of the "smart" tech meant to facilitate some part of the customer service experience makes it more difficult for everyone... i see people (esp older folks) get sooo agitated trying to use our touchscreen but ive actually had a couple nice conversations w them about it cus im usually like "i hate this thing too" 🤷🏻♀️ like it may be more intuitive for me but these things arent really designed for either of us. cant speak for all zoomers but i personally dont find it helpful. i always prefer when ppl just pay w cash so i dont have to give them a whole tutorial 😭 (i did have a funny experience at a lil airport cafe the other day where there was a long line at the kiosk and none at the counter. i just went up n bought a croissant n walked away while this poor family was trying to figure it out lol. felt like i was doing something wrong...)
Thank you for sharing your Z perspective! So, someone had ideas to make our lives "simpler" or just saving money I suppose, but any age group can see what works and doesn't!
Can we get an educational tutorial on how to eat on the road? I wish to see the stockpile of blueberries and salmon and get a closer look at the full nutritional process. Thanks y’all
Lou please don't even joke about getting kicked out of Dinosaur jr. a second time! Then Michael Azerrad will have to re-write the Dinosaur jr. chapter and release an updated version of Our Band Could Be Your Life. ( also Dinosaur jr. is waaaay better with you in it )
