This photo oddly spoke to me. When I use ketchup if I have a choice it is
Heinz.

This week at my age I learned there are legal definitions of types of ketchup.
Heinz is the fancy classification.

I also learned that McDonalds lost their classification as a fancy ketchup. Why? Cause there isn’t enough tomatoes in their substance. Go figure.

Considering the constant amazon package thief that has been happening alot in the US. Perhaps the driver did not wanted to risk the package with the landscape men nearby? Aka suspecting they might steal the package?

Fortunately, the Ring camera woulda’ caught that too, but, your point is well taken, as not everyone has those types of devices.

My thoughts are pretty basic. There are great people in every generation and some not so great. Sometimes it how they were raised and the expectations of the parents raising them. No generation on a whole was more self involved as the Baby Boomers, the anti-establishment generation. I am the tail-end of that classification. Too young for the drugs, the Hippie thing or Woodstock, all was well over by my preteen years.

I have two Millennial kids that are not pieces of work. I take pride in how I raised them, saw to it they were educated and both have great professional careers because of it. I take pride in the adults they became. I believe the majority of Millennial adults are hard working, awesome individuals. They were dealt a nasty, long recession in their teens and college years, that wasn't on them, that was on the older generations. That recession stung a lot of families which made it a difficult time for some youth to jump start their adulthood as they might have liked to. This doesn't make Millennial's pieces of work nor should they keep having to take insults about their entire generation. I have a hard time understanding the need to keep doing that to that generation.

I believe social media is part of the problem. Behind the screen older generations can just bash the heck out of a generation. We are all living in the world of Twitter now if we participate or not where untruths can just be tweeted and it goes unchecked. It is the new norm.

Yup. I think a few bad apples give millennials a bad name. For the most part, we're a hard working generation and I would say one of the kindest generations in a while, and I believe generation z takes the kindness even further. Oh, we also don't criticize gen z unless they start doing stupid teenager stuff like eat Tide pods. 🙄

I've had to deal with so much crap from the older generations, though. At my previous job, there were women there who were always ruder to people my age than anyone else. It was mostly the front desk personnel. One of my cousins was also working there and noticed the same thing. Sometimes it was rudeness, sometimes it was downright hostility.

Even today, my brother and I went to Hershey and did the water park. As we were waiting in line to grab the tubes for one slide, the women in front of me kept shooting us nasty looks for no reason. And then after we were in line, we had these ginormous double tubes. The one woman was carrying it and the other was walking beside her, unlike everyone else who had both people holding the tubes. She turned around to me and said, "Stop bumping into my tube." No please, nothing but a direct order. It couldn't have been more than a slight tap, which happens in line, and it wouldn't throw her off if her friend was actually at least helping her steady it. It was also probably just that my brother stepped too far accidentally. I gave her a look and ignored her. And then bumped it twice intentionally because I'm petty. I've had this kind of thing happen in WDW too. Annoying.

I've also met lovely baby boomers who would never act this way, so I try not to assume just because someone happens to be in a particular age group.

Well, we all must just get over it. Every generation is the one that is going to hell in a hand basket. Boomers were long haired, hippy, drug addled brains, no hygiene and the worst ever. We did alright for awhile, but, since our leadership, those deciding our fate and whatever freedoms we are allowed to have, are mostly all boomers, the long hair is gone, but we did turn out to be self centered, evil people. Maybe it was the drugs.

My children were GenX, I think. Either there wasn't much said about them that I recall other then the hell in a hand basket thing, they weren't tainted to much or I was to busy making a living that I just didn't pay attention. My only thought about millenniums is that they are not social beings. Yes, they gather in groups, but form a circle and stare at their phones. Text people that are standing next to them instead of speaking and have to be told over and over how foolish it is to be texting while driving. It worries me that anyone has to be told a basic common sense warning. Is that just a few "bad apples" or is it a normal progression of life. No one cared about how I felt about being bunched in with the “Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out” generation and frankly neither did I. I knew what I was and what I stood for then and still do today. Nothing that was said about my generation at the time had any real conscious affect on me. Before long, all the Big M's will have their own next generation to label and disapprove of. Probably the "I Snapchat therefore I am" generation. It's the true cycle of life. ISTIA Generation. Has a ring to it I think!
