I’ve never noticed the “Gen Z stare”, maybe I’m just not a shitty customer.
This feels like just another example of “the younger generation has no respect, in my day we respected our elders” that’s been a part of society since we’ve had society.
most of these things feel violently anglo, it’s a wild experience to see everyone online talking about things as if they’re universal and then look up from the phone and the only trace of these things are terminally online young people doing things that will haunt their nightmares in the future.
I started asking people that express these kinds of opinions if they themselves have witnessed what they’re claiming. Sadly, they all say yes and I’ve stopped believing them.
See now, I believe that they’ve seen a stare from service industry workers, but I’d bet it’s the “dealing with assholes” dead-eyed stare, which is multigenerational. If they say they see it everywhere they’re telling on themselves.
That’s exactly what I’m getting at, too. If “Gen Z is lazy and doesn’t want to work”, maybe it’s missing a “with you”. I’ve not experienced any of the usual claims.

I’ve never gotten it from Gen Z, but I have got the “can this antisocial ass bitch get a sentence out” stare from older workers
