My thoughts exactly! Stereotypes never help to bring people together... and while I don't believe in "making a scene," there is nothing wrong with respectful feedback when you are not happy with your service at an establishment. Being passive aggressive and complaining to everyone else about your experience is no more respectful. As far as brand loyalty... how many young people feel the need to have Nike, Abercrombie, American Eagle, Gucci, etc...? As a high school teacher I see a ton of kids who will wear nothing but name brands regardless of quality or cost. Consumerism affects people of all generations!

True... I am more likely to complain respectfully to an employee of an establishment so that the issue can be fixed than to call them out publicly. I would much rather have someone address me in this way as well... it could just be a bad day or moment and not indicative of consistent failing of the establishment.

I'm Gen X. (We seem to be the forgotten generation these days-it's funny.) As part of this stuck between generation- I feel like each generation is making generalizations about the other. Not all Boomers are grumpy complainers as stereotyped by in younger generations, (remember- in the US, their activism in the 60s changed a lot in society for the good). Not all Millennials are slackers as stereotyped by some in older generations. Individuals in all generations are varied & wonderful as animals in the oceans. Times change rapidly. Before they know it, Millennials will be the older generation. Instead of each group into a category, we should try to appreciate others, & try to understand them.

Man the over generalization of generations is the worst. People are really quite different and arguably many of our behaviours have more to do with our age than our generation. As much as I like positive posts about my generation, I can find endless exceptions to every stereotype of every generation.
